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 the 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.”

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.

Just arrest the governor and mayor already. Sanctuary cities and states are friggen illegal. Throw them all in GITMO.
Might be some sort of legal nicety to prevent that. But f@#$ it.
The U.S. Marshals would be able to find the roadkill POS and then sneak the subhuman bass turd out of town and show him a little “real due process” American style.
As I stated on an earlier thread, the guy is looking at 8 counts of murder. I doubt if he’s going to be released (or deported for that matter) any time soon. Sanctuary city/state issue aside, I would think 8 murder charges are a bit more serious a legal matter than being in the country illegally. Also, I’d imagine an ICE facility would be more comfortable for the murderer than city jail.
WTF??
The mook murdered FOUR humans. How the hell does he get bail????
He’ll be out by Sunday Supper.
Didn’t stop those slugs from arresting a former President. Trump’s a billionaire. They didn’t have enough time to bankrupt him. The feds could bankrupt all of these sanctuary thugs in months.
Time to export or hang all illegal aliens who commit crimes.
They have zero human rights here.
They are enemy combatants!
He’ll be out by Sunday Supper.
When in the course of human events...
Roman Am-A-Tit-La
Sounds like a porn star name.
On Tuesday, US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) requested the New York City Department of Corrections (NYCDOC) not release Amatitla from jail.
...
The fact they have this reported means the sanctuary insurrection state of NY is ready, willing and able to do just that.
The perp is being held without bail at Riker’s Island.
Your standard jailbird seriously dislikes perps who hurt children, let alone burned one to death. It’s personal, since some of them were abused as kids, and others will say “I’m bad, sure, but I don’t hold with no child killers.”
See headline. They’re releasing him, and ignoring the ICE detainer.
Either that, or put a wall around NYC ala “Escape from New York”.
Unfortunately I have to visit the city from time to time.
Simply assign undercover ICE agents to monitor the hearings and if the target is released, grab him up.
Trump needs to go full Pinochet.
