New York authorities have rejected over 16,000 immigration detainers issued by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for individuals accused or convicted of crimes, according to an exclusive report. The detainers, which request the transfer of migrants to ICE custody, were denied despite the individuals being tied to more than 52,000 criminal cases. The revelations highlight a growing tension between state and federal law enforcement over immigration enforcement policies. Officials have not yet commented on the reasons behind the rejections.
