6. They must prefer them out on the streets, or they wouldn't have a law preventing cooperation with ICE.

"I can't imagine that anyone would advocate for protecting convicted sex criminals. In fact, the question that comes to my mind is why are they on the street and not in jail?"

In New York City, for example, ICE used to have an office at the jail to easily take custody of noncitizens. In 2014, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio signed legislation kicking out ICE and restricting police cooperation. His successor, Eric Adams, has shown willingness to revisit some of those policies. He recently met with Homan and told reporters they agreed on pursuing people who commit violent crimes.

As ridiculous as this sounds to a large swath of the country, I guess NYC residents are OK with it.
