California ICE Standoff Escalates As Newsom, Noem Clash Over Criminal Deportations And Detainer Compliance
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons demands California honor detainers for 33,000+ inmates accused of serious crimes, noting 4,561 were released since January without ICE notification.
- On Friday, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons sent a letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta urging that arrest detainers for 33,179 individuals in state custody be honored and posted the letter on Facebook to promote cooperation.
- California's alleged refusal to honor detainers led to the release of 4,561 individuals since January 20, including those linked to 31 homicides, 661 assaults, 574 burglaries, 184 robberies, 1,489 drug offenses, 379 weapons offenses, and 234 sexual predatory offenses.
- Federal data counts cited by DHS list 399 homicides, 3,313 assaults, 3,171 burglaries, 1,011 robberies, 8,380 drug offenses and 1,293 sexual predatory offenses, which Kristi Noem amplified on X.
- Newsom's office responded that California has transferred more than 12,000 people to ICE since 2019, while Bill Essayli said state law prohibits jails from handing over inmates and called Newsom's claims a lie.
- Lyons framed the dispute as a public-safety issue, urging officials to honor detainers, citing that since Jan. 20, California has released 4,561 individuals with active detainers, including 31 homicides.
