Federal law enforcement and ICE agents have arrested nearly 500 undocumented migrants wanted for outstanding crimes in sanctuary cities, including three from New York.
An internal NYPD memo by Commissioner Jessica Tisch sent last week reminds officers to not assist federal authorities in immigration enforcement in the five boroughs.
Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained multiple people, including United States citizens, a U.S. military veteran and undocumented individuals.
