Official ICE and New York custody records show 7,113 individuals in New York custody with active ICE detainers and the cited counts for homicide, assault, burglary, robbery, drug offenses, weapons offenses, and sexual predatory offenses match booking/charge records.

Source summary
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a press release on February 6, 2026, criticizing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for signing an executive order that DHS says will prevent local cooperation with ICE detainers. DHS says there are 7,113 people in New York custody with active ICE detainers and lists counts of alleged offenses (including homicides, assaults, robberies, and sexual offenses), and it urges the mayor to allow ICE to take custody of those individuals. DHS frames the action as reducing public safety and references a recent proposal from Governor Kathy Hochul to limit local cooperation with ICE.

Latest fact check

Unable to access independent corroborating datasets or official ICE statistics at this time due to limited public reporting pathways for up-to-the-minute detainer counts; DHS’s press release asserts the numbers but I could not locate an independent ICE or state dataset published publicly that confirms the exact 7,113 total and the detailed crime breakdown. Recommend re-checking ICE/DHS public datasets or FOIA disclosures; follow up on 2026-02-09 if additional records are published.
