Under the new law, the city adds two new “hoops” for ICE: The city won’t honor any ICE detainer request that’s not specifically accompanied by a warrant signed by a federal judge.
And the city will still ignore these warrants unless the detainee had previously been convicted of a violent felony within the last five years.
So an illegal alien who served a few years in prison after an armed-robbery conviction, but got out in 2008, and now gets picked up again for a “minor” charge, can’t be turned over to the feds for deportation.
Even a convicted murderer on parole could be protected from deportation by Mark-Viverito’s new law. After all, as she says, “New York is a city that respects the constitutional rights and dignity of all residents.”
Even worse, the new law strips out language that used to ensure that illegal aliens who are known gangbangers and get arrested and brought to Rikers would be turned over to ICE.
But perhaps the most galling aspect of the new policy is buried in an apparent exemption for arrestees who are found on the national terrorist watch list.
According to the language of the law, these terrorist wannabes and suspects can be detained by the city for a brief period of time, “provided, however, that if federal immigration authorities fail to present the department with a judicial warrant for such person within the period described above, such person shall be released and the department shall not notify federal immigration authorities of such person’s release.”
Got that? If for whatever reason the feds don’t submit the right paperwork quickly enough, than the NYPD and Correction Deparment must release the terror suspect, and can’t even tell ICE that they’ve let him go.

Elections have consequences.
New york is 90 percent Democrat. So theyre doomed each election.
and Yankees wonder why we want guns
Neu Yuk Sh*ty denizens get the government they wanted and deserve.
Round up all of the illegals, and dump them in NYC, ALL of them.
Then put up a fence around the city, and shoot anyone who tries to escape.
If the people of NYC are so in love with their illegals, then they should be forced to deal with them, not the rest of us.
The same goes for Chicago, LA, Houston, Dallas, and all of the other sanctuary cities and states.
Texas, California, New York, and Florida are the worst offenders when it comes to violations of immigration law and assaults on state sovereignty.
Round up all of the illegals, dump them in those states, and let them deal with all of the problems that they have created, all in their quest for cheap labor.
Employing illegals is nothing more than an end run around the abolition of slavery in the US. Abolish slavery in the US, and business will just buy off the US and mexican governments to fill the gap.
“New York is a city that respects the constitutional rights and dignity of all residents.”
Yeah, what about carrying a gun?...
Only if youre rich, famous, or politically connected.
The peons have to do without.
What a great place for illegal alien criminals to reside.
