Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano responded Tuesday to a new report that nearly 500 illegal immigrants have been released from custody in North Carolina over the past 10 months despite detainers against them from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden has blamed the releases on low bonds being set by judges in the cases, arguing that the law requires the suspects to be released when they post bond, while an ICE detainer is merely a "request."
"This is a world turned upside-down. ... Something screwy is going on in North Carolina," Napolitano said on "Fox & Friends," adding there is a "danger to public safety" when suspected violent criminals are released from custody.
