“This man is by his own admission a member of a violent street gang and he was released back into the community,” said Thomas Decker, field office director for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit in New York. “Honoring a detainer request is not about politics, it is about keeping New York citizens safe.”

Post a Border Patrol checkpoint at the exit from Riker’s. Man it 24 hours a day and check EVERYBODY who goes through including guards, service employees, NYPD, lawyers, visitors, and even the released inmates. The problem will solve itself in short order.

I get your point but it would be ICE you want and not BP.

Whoever. You have a lot of federal police agencies over there and several million people who do not belong. Apply one to the other.

I haven’t been in New York City since I cruised out of New York Harbor about 7 or 8 years ago. I’d like to get there to see the Freedom Tower, but not while this bozo is mayor.
