Immigration authorities are calling on New York officials to reconsider their decision to release a Salvadoran national accused of raping a 16-year-old girl on Long Island. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a detainer for the suspect, who is currently being held at a county jail. According to ICE, the individual is a previously deported alien with a history of serious criminal activity, including a prior conviction for rape. As the suspect's case makes its way through the courts, ICE is urging New York officials to honor the detainer and keep the individual in custody, citing public safety concerns.
