Eight illegal immigrant squatters recently arrested by law enforcement in New York City were previously apprehended at the southern border and then released into the country, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In late March, the New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested the illegal immigrants who were squatting at an NYC home after officers received reports of a man with a gun. After officers arrived at the scene, they found guns, ammunition, magazines, and drugs on the premises.
