House Report: NYC Prosecutors Tailored Plea Deals for Noncitizens

• NYC prosecutors from all five boroughs have given preferential treatment to noncitizens to help them avoid deportation, according to a House Judiciary Committee report.
• The report, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, cites nonpublic documents revealing details about the city's practices.
• District attorneys in the Bronx and Queens have been found to instruct prosecutors to downgrade charges to keep illegal immigrants in the US.
• The report claims that these actions are part of a broader effort to shield noncitizens from deportation.
• The committee's findings are based on oversight work and the examination of nonpublic documents.
