ICE Data Reveals 58K ‘Criminal’ Migrants Now Call NYC Home
In September, The Gateway Pundit reported that New York City’s embrace of its sanctuary city status has had real-world, devasting consequences for New Yorkers.
Police sources shared shocking details with The New York Post, suggesting that a staggering estimate of as many as 75% of the people arrested in Midtown Manhattan over recent months for crimes including assault, robbery, and domestic violence are migrants.
Sanctuary City laws hamper police who are not allowed to work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on cases where the suspects are suspected of being in the country illegally.
Now, new stats from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) paint an even grimmer picture.
According to ICE data reviewed by The New York Post, there are over 58,000 illegal migrants who are convicted felons or facing criminal charges on the streets of NYC.
New York is not alone in this threat. The data also reveals that there are close to 670,000 in this category across the U.S.
Of the 759,218 illegal-border crossers living in the Big Apple the feds were aware of as of Nov. 17, a jaw-dropping 58,626 — 7.7% — were either previously convicted of crimes or had criminal charges pending, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency data.
And of the 58,626 migrants with rap sheets, 1,053, nearly 2%, are “suspected or known gang members,” according to the agency.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) lays the blame on soft-on-crime and lax border-control policies pushed by President Biden, failed Border Czar Kamala Harris, and other Democrats.
Malliotakis shared the alarming stats on X adding, “It’s shocking that Democrats have gone so far out of their way to harbor gang members, drug traffickers and other criminals who are in our country illegally.”
“In many cases, they’ve provided them with housing, food and healthcare. They need to stop using New Yorkers’ hard-earned tax dollars to shield criminals wreaking havoc on our streets and instead cooperate with ICE to have them deported.”

The danger to Americans is serious enough that even far-left New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has signaled that she is willing to work with the Trump administration to deport illegals with criminal records.
