James Has Released Thousands Of Criminal Aliens During Trump Term

New York state has released nearly 7,000 undocumented immigrants from local jails despite Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests, according to new data cited by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

DHS figures indicate that 6,947 individuals were released after being charged with or convicted of a range of offenses, including 29 homicides, 2,509 assaults, 199 burglaries, 305 robberies, 392 drug-related offenses, 300 weapons offenses and 207 sexual-offense cases involving predatory conduct.

Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., discussed the developments during an appearance on Fox News with host Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday. Tenney also said New York Attorney General Letitia James is aware of the releases, alleging that James has pursued investigations into local sheriffs who cooperated with ICE.

According to the New York Post, the attorney general’s office has opened criminal inquiries into Oswego County Sheriff Don Hilton and the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office over alleged misconduct related to cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
