We Place Detainer for ‘Any Crime’, Shoplifting Leads to ‘More Crime’
Fox News Channel’s “Will Cain Cain Show” broadcast, the acting director of ice, Todd Lyons, said the prisoners were put on anyone in the illegally committed country who commits an additional crime and that “all crime is now entirely on the table. Crime, and we just can’t do that.
The guest host Lawrence Jones asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:00] “So, tell me about these ice prisoners, because, essentially, what you ask, if you have a criminal in police custody and we have put an inmate on them, give us 48 hours to pick them up. So, so far in the Trump administration, New York City has a little more than 6,000. For the four years of Biden, they honored a little more than 9,000.
Lyon replied: “Well, what we do, Lawrence is that we are not – we are looking at all the crimes, we are not only looking at something that could be an aggravated crime. If someone is here illegally, and they commit the display flight, if they are graffiti, for example, that all crime is entirely on the table. Shop flight can be one thing, but it leads to more and more crimes, and we cannot do this.
