New York to Release Deadly Arsonist in Defiance of ICE Detainer

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.”
