Story summary

Markwayne Mullin, the Homeland Security Secretary, disclosed on Friday that New York state officials have not responded to any of the 14,766 detainer requests from the Department of Homeland Security for illegal immigrants with “extensive criminal backgrounds.” These migrants were accused of a total of 47,750 felony charges. Mullin criticized New York's silence on this matter and questioned why officials would release individuals who have committed crimes back onto the streets when they are not legally allowed to be in the United States. The comments followed an incident where ICE was involved in the shooting of a suspected gang member, Oscar Belgal, in the Bronx while his 5-year-old son was present.
