Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal justice system – at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.
Police sources shared with the New York Post the staggering estimate that 75 percent of people they’ve arrested in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60 percent, sources there estimate. (Related: NYPD: Illegal immigrants account for more than half of all arrests in New York City.)
The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that prohibit New York cops from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the New York Police Department (NYPD) said it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders. This makes it almost impossible for authorities to get their arms around the problem, experts and sources on the ground say.
“New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,” Jim Quinn, a veteran former prosecutor at the Queens District Attorney’s Office, told the news outlet. “The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy.”
Making matters worse, word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines – meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back onto the street quickly after they’re nabbed.
Jefferson Maldenado, a 31-year-old Ecuadorian migrant, has been arrested five times in NYC since arriving in the U.S. earlier this year. His latest bust was for stealing a pair of pants and a beer from the Target near Herald Square. Asked why he committed the crime, the migrant thief said, “I wanted to change my clothes and think. I wanted to sit down and think about my life, about what to do. Because this is not a normal world.”
Meanwhile, New York City Eric Adams’ administration admitted earlier this month that criminal migrant invaders aren’t exempt from receiving taxpayer-subsidized shelters.
“I’m sure that there’s a lot of arrests that have come from a lot of different groups that come here, especially groups that might not be able to work,” Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom added.
On top of that, she revealed that the city government is not keeping tabs on the arrest of migrants in connection to NYPD being banned from inquiring about their immigration status.
After being badgered a bit about the alarming number of migrant arrests, Adams’ chief of staff Camille Joseph Varlack stated that although suspects can return to city shelters, they would lose housing privileges if they broke a code of conduct.
However, the code is limited only to incidents taking place inside the shelters. Alleged criminal activity that occurs elsewhere apparently has no impact on migrant invaders’ eligibility to receive city housing, per a review of the code of conduct by the New York Post.
The mayor’s team said city hall has been focused on helping asylum seekers get on their feet as a deterrent to new arrivals turning to crime.
“We want to connect people to their community-based organizations so that we can get them connected to work, get them out of shelters,” Williams-Isom said. “We’ve been really proud that over 150,000 people have made their way out of the shelter so far.”
