A New York City congressman drew swift pushback from Republicans and the Department of Homeland Security after claiming sanctuary jurisdictions turn over removable criminal illegal immigrants to federal authorities upon completion of their sentences.
DHS also rebuked Goldman’s claim of common cooperation, citing thousands of cases in the lawmaker’s home state to make their point.
"You have not and are unable to provide one is my guess. Maybe you'll have one or two, but the policy of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states is that if you are removable after you're convicted after you complete your sentence, you are turned over to the Department of Homeland Security."
The claim was met with immediate skepticism after Goldman finished speaking, and Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., noted he prosecuted such cases in the Tar Heel State.
"Sanctuary jurisdictions do have a very wide paradigm in how they're operated. There's some sanctuary-leaning jurisdictions in my home state of North Carolina. We had to pass a law at the state legislature to override the discretion," Knott said.
He added that recent cases in Fairfax County, Virginia, support his assertion that sanctuary jurisdictions do not cooperate after an illegal immigrant is convicted.

Since January, New York’s failure to honor ICE detainers resulted in the release of 6,947 criminally convicted illegal immigrants, according to statistics DHS shared with Fox News Digital.
"The crimes of these aliens include 29 homicides, 2,509 assaults, 199 burglaries, 305 robberies, 392 dangerous drug offenses, 300 weapons offenses and 207 sexual predatory offenses," said Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis, who added there were around 7,000 illegal immigrants in the state with active detainer requests as of last winter.

Goldman is an extremist. So, a perfectly mainstream Dim.
Dims think they are so cute when everyone knows they want the illegal votes.
Openly lying and no shame. Tens of thousands of Americans dead from illegals and they still push this....
“Maybe there are one or two cases ...”
[DHS cites thousands of cases in this guy’s own state]
“I am still unconvinced ...”
Well he did say that you couldn’t name ONE case. He never said you couldn’t name 6000+ cases
Not extremist enough evidently. Goldman lost his re-election bid to an even bigger idiot.
“You have not and are unable to provide one is my guess. Maybe you’ll have one or two, but the policy of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states is that if you are removable after you’re convicted after you complete your sentence, you are turned over to the Department of Homeland Security.”
Liar.

In the first place, that doesn't appear to be the policy of sanctuary cities. Plus, the purpose of sanctuary policy seems to be to prevent prosecution and conviction of all illegal aliens.
Congressman Dan Goldman is a member of the Congressional US-Israeli Alliance in the U.S. House of Representatives, which rigidly enforces billions in US taxpayer financed economic and military ties between the United States and Israel.
Throughout his time in office, Goldman has been a vocal supporter of the US-Israel relationship and has received key endorsements and campaign donations from pro-Israel groups like J Street PAC and the eternally-present nuisance lobby——AIPAC.
AIPAC enforces America’s billion dollar relationship with Israel through intensive lobbying, and financial support for favored candidates.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) and Representative Jerrold Nadler (NY-12) are well-known mainstream Democrats who back the billions financing the Israeli relationship.
Progressive members and their endorsed candidates have openly campaigned against this alliance, citing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza they term as “genocide.”
Booting Illegals will save you Billions of dollars , there should be Ads ,LOL
Tens of thousands of Americans dead from illegals for decades and they still push this.
Maybe these cities need to be reminded of all the names of the dead caused by the monsters let into our country by the uniparty.
How about Angel Resendez, “The angel of death”. That was in Texas in the 1990’s.

And these clowns think they’ll win the midterms!?!?
