Our reading
The NYPD didn’t just release Alpha Bah—they released him with a side of defiance, as if the city had a standing agreement with the federal government to ignore ICE’s requests. It’s not just about a criminal walking free; it’s about a system that seems to treat detainers like suggestions, not mandates.
Now the federal government is playing the outraged parent, demanding that NYC stop ‘letting criminals walk.’ But the city didn’t just fail to notify ICE—they didn’t even bother to make a show of it. It’s like the NYPD decided to skip the paperwork and just hand the man a passport to the streets.
So now, the man is on the loose, and the only thing more dangerous than his alleged crimes is the spectacle of federal officials blaming local cops for not doing what they weren’t legally required to do in the first place.
