ITHACA, NY (CortacaToday) — Congressman Marc Molinaro wants Governor Kathy Hochul to end New York’s sanctuary status.

Molinaro says an alleged gang leader and killer from Peru entered the country illegally earlier this year and was allowed to roam around freely before his arrest Wednesday in Endicott.

He’s calling on the governor to repeal the state’s designation as a sanctuary state and wants Hochul to direct authorities to notify Immigration Customs Enforcement of illegal immigrants with criminal records so they can be deported.
