A lack of cooperation with ICE to deport an illegal immigrant resulted in a family tragedy

Why would the New York City Department of Correction refuse to honor a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer for an illegal Mexican national facing murder and arson charges in Queens?

The same perverted sense of “equity” that drove the Biden administration to open the border to millions of illegal migrants.

On April 9, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Roman Amatitla would be charged with arson and eight counts of second-degree murder for allegedly setting a fire that killed four in a Flushing apartment building, including a 3-year-old girl.

Katz called it as “an act of mass murder,” and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) subsequently revealed Amatitla had entered the US illegally “at an unknown date and unknown time.”

Despite the heinous nature of the crime, the threat posed to the community and Amatitla’s unlawful status, NYDOC still vowed not to cooperate with ICE’s efforts to keep him off the streets.

Amatitla is being held without bail while he awaits trial.

But paperwork released by DHS shows the NYDOC refusing to provide status updates to ICE if he is ever released.
