New York, New YorkAccording to Ken Genalo, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York, there are currently about 58,000 migrants living on the streets of New York City who have been arrested or convicted of crimes.
According to Genalo, this number includes cases from a number of years rather than just the recent wave of migrants entering the city. In an attempt to differentiate between historical data and current migration trends, he stated in a statement that this number goes back many years.
The revelation coincides with increased discussion about the city’s resources and public safety issues related to its expanding immigrant population. The problem has become more complicated as a result of the current surge of asylum seekers, many of whom are being held in shelters run by the city.
ICE, which is responsible for implementing immigration regulations and identifying those who are dangerous to the public, has not offered any additional explanations or information on the particular offenses associated with the 58,000 number.
The figure fuels an already heated debate concerning immigration enforcement and local reactions to New York City’s immigrant crisis.
