Mayor de Blasio is defending his move to expand the list of crimes that let the city turn suspects over to Immigration Customs Enforcement.
Seven additional offenses that include child sex trafficking and patronizing child prostitution were added.
De Blasio said the change remains in line with the original 2014 bill, which was meant to only impact those convicted of serious crimes.

"We do not believe for minor offenses that anyone should be torn away from their family, but if someone has committed one of these serious and violent crimes and has gone through the full legal process and is convicted, that’s would be grounds for cooperation with ICE."
Child sex trafficking and child prostitution were not the first on the list?
A day late and a dollar short.
Just a thought.
