A manhunt is underway for a person whom Fox News described in a report as a violent illegal immigrant released by New York City under its sanctuary policies. The outlet's report covered both the search and the criticism that followed from federal officials.
According to Fox News, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin blasted New York City after the New York Police Department ignored Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers and released the individual. The network reported that the person is accused of assaulting an officer. Mullin's direct remarks were not included in the summary available for this story, so their exact wording cannot be reported here.
The Fox News summary did not name the individual, the officer, or the specific charges. It also did not say when the release took place or where the alleged assault occurred. Those details would have to come from additional reporting.
The headline ties the release to New York City's sanctuary policies, a phrase the summary does not explain further.
The account rests on a single outlet. The summary did not include a response from the NYPD, New York City officials, or the individual's representatives, and no other report was supplied for comparison.
Fox News described the search as a manhunt, and the headline indicates that authorities are seeking the person named in the story.
