A spokesperson for the NYPD said the police commissioner was  reiterating NYPD policy that has been in effect since Mayor de Blasio took office, CBS reports. He added that while federal warrants are honored when there is a risk to public safety, last year the NYPD turned over only two of 72 illegal immigrants sought by the feds.

“The NYPD does not conduct civil immigration enforcement. Specifically, this department does not enforce administrative warrants issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents or federal immigration judges, solely in connection with civil immigration violations. For example, the NYPD does not arrest or detain individuals for immigration violations such as overstaying a lawfully issued visa,” O’Neill stated in an internal memo sent to the NYPD earlier this week.

On Friday, a top NYPD official told reporters that minor offenders will not be handed over to immigration officials.

“Even if you’re a recidivist and jumped a turnstile for the fourth or tenth time, and we arrest you for the misdemeanor crime, that’s a misdemeanor — it’s not a qualifying offense for deportation efforts,” said NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Legal Affairs Larry Byrne. “Nobody is getting deported for a minor offense.
