A Mexican citizen who had been in police custody after pleading guilty to accusations of assault, and was released from the detention by the Sheriff’s office of the County of Tompkins after the Sheriff Office refused to honor a Federal arrest warrant, was arrested and taken care of by federal police. .
“The Sheriff’s Bureau of the County of Tompkins in Ithaca, NY, a self-written sanctuary city, does not seem to have succeeded in honoring a valid federal arrest warrant for a criminal foreigner with a sentence for assault,” said The interim deputy prosecutor Emil Bove. “Yesterday, despite the mandate, an accused without legal status and history of violence was released in the community. Federal agents risked their security and continued the accused under dangerous conditions. Today, they have managed to resume the accused. I applaud the commitment of the American lawyer to investigate these circumstances for potential prosecution and the efforts of the agents who were able to arrest the defendant in completely avoidable circumstances. The Ministry of Justice will not tolerate the actions that will endanger the application of the law and make their work more difficult than they are already, because they work to protect us all. We will use all the tools at our disposal to prevent the policies of the sanctuary city from hindering and obstructing legal federal operations designed to make America again in security and put an end to the national crisis resulting from four years of policy of ‘failed immigration. »»
