WASHINGTON — New York City’s elected Democratic district attorneys are bending over backwards to keep illegal immigrants in the US, instructing prosecutors to downgrade charges to those considered “a non-deportable offense,” according to a stunning House Judiciary Committee report shared with The Post.
The GOP-led panel found that Bronx DA Darcel Clark trains her subordinates “to conceal facts from the record of conviction” and “pursue alternative charges” that would keep non-citizens free to roam in America.
Not even cases involving child sex crimes are off-limits — with Clark’s office asking assistant DAs in a 2019 guide to “immigration-conscious plea bargaining” to “[o]ffer something that does not have the child’s age as an element of the crime.”
Meanwhile, in Queens, DA Melinda Katz has told her prosecutors to “exercise extreme caution” and “not get caught up in the label of [f]elonies, [m]isdemeanors” for illegal aliens, according to the report published five months after the committee sent requests for information on the Big Apple’s so-called “sanctuary” policies to prosecutor’s offices in all five boroughs, as well as the NYPD and Department of Correction.
According to the report, the NYPD has received nearly 10,000 detainer requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for illegal aliens charged with crimes in the past 12 months — and honored none.
The Department of Homeland Security revealed earlier this month that 16,070 detainer requests had been ignored by authorities across the Empire State.
In a report authored by Katz’s office last year, the Queens DA was confirmed to employ an “immigration specialist,” whose sole purpose is helping assistant DAs “navigate through plea options and assist in framing dispositions that will prevent unwanted immigration consequences.”

Too much obstruction of justice is never enough...for them.
Americans are officially second class citizens in their own country.
This is clearly a violation of the equal protection clause, as if anyone cares.
This is a conspiracy to obstruct federal immigration law.
These scoundrel prosecutors need to be indicted and convicted and themselves thrown in prison.
Yeah? Well ANY offense is deportable, starting with being here ILLEGALLY!
It seems like there should be some criminality associated with that.
more people needing some time in the corner, or whatever is the highest penalty.
Aiding and abetting criminals breaking federal laws.
Arrests and jail. Its the first step.
These are Federal crimes.

Every single day there is some really unbelievable criminal and/or nefarious activity by Democrats bent on destroying the rule of law and the USA. This one is over the top. NYS thumbed their nose at 16,070 illegal immigrant detainer requests and old the feds to get stuffed.
Ever since Columbus sailed in 1492 there have been none
natives coming aboard. Then the none natives went to
South America and brought in their natives to be the grunt
workers.
In the 1860s there was a war fought to free them and let
them become citizens. As things continue the USA has been
a come to country from many different peoples from around
the world. Good jobs, freedom and many things to chase.
It’s worse than a conspiracy to obstruct federal immigration law. It’s also a conspiracy to shield child sex offenders. And that’s just the example cited. We don’t have a full scope of the level of criminality being protected.
Because criminals are a core democrat constituency, as are illegal aliens (who have by definition broken the law as well).
This is treason.
At best...public hangings. At least...several months in public stocks so Citizens can throw rotten garbage at them daily.
