New York sanctuary politicians are determined to release an illegal alien arsonist who killed multiple people in order to stick it to Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Mexican national Roman Amatitla randomly selected an NYC apartment building to set ablaze on March 16. He injured seven people and killed four, including a toddler. Now he faces eight counts of second-degree murder and first-degree arson, according to New York Post. The local authorities ought to be handing the illegal alien over to ICE, but they refuse to do so.
Democrats have become so fanatical in their opposition to federal immigration enforcement that they are seemingly more likely to release or defend a murderer after ICE places a detainer request than to comply both with federal law and with the request.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) angrily responded to the news on X. “This monster set fire to a building and watched as innocent people, including a three-year-old, burned to death,” the department posted. “New York City sanctuary politicians REFUSE to cooperate with ICE and are committing to RELEASING this MURDERER onto New York streets. New York’s sanctuary politicians must stop putting politics above public safety.”
ICE ARREST DETAINER DENIED.
On April 14, ICE requested the NYCDOC not release this monster from jail back into American communities.
However, because of New York’s sanctuary politicians, the NYCDOC told ICE that they will REFUSE to cooperate.

DHS called on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to honor the ICE detainer. Unfortunately, both Hochul and Mamdani have expressed the most radical opposition to immigration enforcement and the most shameful determination to defend foreign criminals.

FROM THE NEW YORK POST:
[EXCERPT]
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said that on the day of the blaze, Amatitla entered and exited the Avery Avenue building multiple times, urinated in front of the apartments, and then went to a nearby gas station — where he bought a beer, stole a second one and took a pack of matches after refusing to pay for a lighter.
Authorities allege he then entered the apartment building for a fourth and final time, lighting a piece of paper on fire and tossing it onto trash near a stairwell.
If he isn’t arrested for more crimes he will thus be available to cut the big ribbon with Mamdani and his wife for the grand opening of the socialist grocery outlet in New York City.
And then, according to Newsmax, let loose with a pizz...
Like the major crime boss Al Capone getting caught for tax evasion, this buy could be tried for stealing the bottle of beer.
I’d be fine with all of NYC burning itself down.
A three year old child died in a horrible manner in a fire.
Does Mamdani shrug that off?
Doe the Pope Leo XIV shrug that off?
He criticized JD Vance and Trump for being unkind to the bloodthirsty illegals he was deporting with Trump and the ICE bosses instead of forgiving them all.
The Pope doesn’t care lovingly for the VICTIMS of the killers, abductors, home invaders and rapists. What a hypocrite.
We need extrajudicial death squads.
what you said
Vigilantism on steroids?
No, thank you.
“ Arrest it on a Federal charge of terrorism.”
Then arrest Madmandani and the governor as accomplices after the fact.
The ones who should be executed are the New York sanctuary politicians. /spit
I would hope he’d have very secure housing provided by New York taxpayers until he’s dead.
I would hope he’d get to share a cell with a convicted strangler.
He needs to serve time in NY prison.
Fry him.
When is the DOJ and Attorney General going to go after the ahos running the New Yawk Illegal alien crime family? Madmani’s Miggie Mafia.
“The Pope doesn’t care lovingly for the victims…”
Not much favorable publicity in that. With his present approach, the Pope is getting all sorts of encomiums from the Press - NYTimes, Wall Street Journal (Peggy Noonan), etc. He likes that. Is reveling in it. What a windfall ( financial, publicity-wise).
Puck the Fope.
They don’t care about the victims who have died, because, after all, they are no longer able to be helped. The poor arsonist is still alive and they can keep him from suffering needlessly to the oppressive ICE agents. The eggs for this omelette have already been broken.
