According to sources in the New York Post, 75% of arrests in midtown Manhattan in the past few months have been by illegal immigrants “for crimes like assault, robbery, and domestic violence.” The mess is due to locals’ support for Democrats’ sanctuary laws.
“New York City got rid of a way to catch dangerous crooks,” someone who used to work as a lawyer in the Queens DA’s Office told the Post. “What a mess. The sanctuary city law is sad. This is disgusting and crazy.”
At the same time, in August, the New York State Comptroller’s office put out a report on the state’s growing problem with “hate crimes.”
“In 2023, Jewish people were the target of 88 percent of religiously-based hate crimes and 44 percent of all hate crimes. There were 477 crimes against Jews in 2023, which is 88% more than in 2018. Even though there are a lot of transgender people in New York City, there were only 24 hate crimes against transgender people last year.”
“I only bring up the hate crime report because less than 5% of all crimes committed in 2023 were against Hispanic people. If there is any injustice in New York, it is not against the city’s Hispanic people, whether they are citizens, legal residents, or people who are in the country illegally.”
The new trouble in New York is people who are there illegally.
Still, this event can’t help but make you laugh:
“A 31-year-old man from Ecuador named Jefferson Maldenado has been jailed five times in New York City since he came to the US recently. His newest arrest was for taking pants and a beer from the Target store close to Herald Square. When asked why he did it, the foreign thief said, “I needed to change clothes and wanted to think about my life.”
You can say what you want, but Maldenado and his stolen pants have a good attitude about life.
The Post also said, “In New York, newly arrived immigrants are filling the criminal justice system at far higher rates than public officials have admitted.”
