U. S. Legislative Immigration Update December 5, 2011
 

http://www.rightsidenews.com/2011120...er-5-2011.html

Just two days before Thanksgiving, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg quietly signed into law an ordinance (Int. No. 656) ordering all city jails to ignore certain Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers issued to deport illegal aliens from those jails. As a result, New York City jails will now release many illegal aliens back into the community instead of handing them over to ICE for removal.

Specifically, Ordinance 656 provides that the New York City Department of Corrections shall not honor ICE detainers placed on certain aliens by either: (1) holding the alien beyond the time when the alien would otherwise be released from custody (48-hours) or (2) notifying federal immigration authorities of the alien’s release. (Int. No. 656 at § 2(7)(b)) This policy will apply to aliens who:

(1) Have never been convicted of a crime (misdemeanor or felony);

(2) Are not defendants in a pending criminal case;

(3) Have no outstanding warrants;

(4) Are not subject to final orders of removal; and

(5) Are not identified as a confirmed match in the terrorist screening database.




Maybe this is a foreshadowing of the NY Dream Act passing?..:-D
