De Blasio’s ‘sanctuary city’ laws leave NYC at the mercy of dangerous criminals
New York Post ^ | January 29, 2020 | Miranda Devine

A predatory child molester and an alleged rapist are among the illegal immigrants released under Mayor de Blasio’s sanctuary-city laws in the last six weeks.

Why doesn’t the mayor look the victims in the eye and tell them how compassionate he is?

Spare a thought for the child, younger than 11, who was the victim of Andres Peña Perez, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia.

Perez pleaded guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court last December to sexually assaulting the child and was released, pending sentencing.

That’s when the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency should have picked him up and started deportation proceedings.

ICE officers did their job after Perez’s fingerprints triggered a warning on their database. They issued a detention order so they could arrest him as he left jail.

But, of course, that’s not what happened.

The New York City Department of Correction ignored ICE’s detainer on Perez, because that’s what it has been commanded to do by de Blasio’s sanctuary policies.

So, Perez walked free on Dec. 18 and remained at large for four weeks. That’s how long it took ICE to track him down.

He is currently in ICE custody awaiting immigration proceedings that should see him thrown out of the country.

“It is unbelievable that a city would . . . restrict cooperation between law-enforcement agents in a case such as this, where the offender is convicted of a sexual offense against a child,” says Thomas Decker, ICE’s enforcement boss in New York.

His officers had to go searching for another alleged sexual predator last week, Volodymyr Polovko, a 51-year-old Ukrainian illegal immigrant.

Polovko was facing charges, including sexual abuse in the 1st degree, criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure, forcible sexual touching

Even my borough, Staten Island, cannot be insulated from such Horrific decisions that are occurring on a regular basis.

To think that there’s not violent white offenders on the south shore that are not being held would be naive.

Not nearly the number as obama’s side of the island, but they exist.

And that puts us all at risk.

Start arresting officials who are aiding and abetting fraudulently documented foreign criminals.

The left is just pure evil. There needs to be a reckoning because they will never stop. Their end game is America’s horror show. A typical liberal voter will let his/her child be raped or murdered for the progressive notion of the illegal alien scum? It is truly mental illness to think this way.

New York has been a sanctuary city since the Koch Administration. The Post has a sick obsession with DeBlasio, when Cuomo has done more damage overall.

I’d bet at least 5 bucks that DeBlasio gets re-elected.

I LIVE here.

I completely disagree.

This is a NYC LAW.

And it’s a horrifying one that is Beyond Belief.

cuomo is garbage.

But this is a city thing. And it’s a sick outrage.

Mayor Koch started the slippery slope in New York 30 years ago (though he wasn’t the first in the nation to do this), and it was a terrible thing to do, by an otherwise good mayor. But his sanctuary city order simply said that the city wouldn’t turn over illegal aliens to the Federal government IF THEY WEREN’T INVOLVED WITH OTHER CRIMES. That terrible rule has been distended out of shape by the NY progressives/communists in the last 30 years.

One can only hope that when the impeachment debacle is done, Trump can be “unleashed” to do what he’s been wanting to but been restrained from because of ongoing investigations.
