But even if they did, under the terms of New York's local ordinance governing how the police work with immigration officials, they would not have turned over information on Khan.Īlbence said ICE is considering expanding its use of “administrative subpoenas” to law enforcement agencies around the country that do not share information like the addresses, driver's license and passport numbers about undocumented residents who come through their local jails. New York City police say they didn't get the request, though ICE insists it was sent. He was released after his arraignment even though immigration officials said they filed a “detainer” request with the New York City Police Department asking that Khan be handed over for deportation. Reeaz Khan, 21, had been arrested in November on earlier charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon, having allegedly beaten up his father. The remarks come amid an escalation of the conflict between the Trump administration and so-called sanctuary cities, and a week after the Guyanese man wanted for deportation was charged with sexually assaulting and killing the 92-year-old woman in Queens. “We are the safest big city in America because of our policies, not in spite of them.” “Fear, hate and attempts to divide are signatures of the Trump Administration, not New York City,” de Blasio spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein said Friday. He said on Twitter this week that the city has passed “common-sense laws about immigration enforcement that have driven crime to record lows." Mayor Bill de Blasio has accused ICE of “spreading lies” and employing “scare tactics” that destroy trust in law enforcement. "It is this city's sanctuary policies that are the sole reason this criminal was allowed to roam the streets freely and end an innocent woman's life.” “It's unbelievable that I have to come here and plead with the city of New York to cooperate with us to help keep this city safe,” Albence said. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said at a news conference Friday that the slaying could have been prevented if city officials had complied with a federal request to turn over the assailant, a Guyanese national, for deportation. Matthew Albence, the acting director of U.S. NEW YORK (AP) - The country's top immigration official blamed the “sanctuary policies” of New York City on Friday for the sexual assault and killing of a 92-year-old woman, while the mayor's office decried such rhetoric as “fear, hate and attempts to divide.” Reading or replaying the story in itsĪrchived form does not constitute a republication of the story.
