New York City police ignored all 1,526 requests from federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain undocumented immigrants for up to 48 hours last year, a top NYPD official said Wednesday.

The number of requests for 2017 was nearly 20 times higher than the 80 the department received over the previous year. Chernyavsky said the department responded to just two of ICE’s 2016 requests because those immigrants had federal arrest warrants.

Under New York City law, prisoners can only be handed over to ICE if they’ve been convicted of 170 crimes and federal officials present a warrant. Read more.

  1. If the City of New York doesn’t follow the law, why should I, a hardworking taxpayer? If I were to break a federal law, the FBI would kick my door in at 4:00 am and have me arrested in front of my wife and children. Why are the leaders of NYC, starting with Mayor DeBlasio, not being arrested? Why does the FBI pick and choose?
