"We have leveled 14,766 detainers for the state of New York, that means individuals that are locked up that have extensive criminal backgrounds, that the state of New York has in custody...Silence, absolute silence is what we’ve got from New York off of those detainers." @SecMullinDHS

And just for an example, in New York alone, since January 20th of 2025 to September of this year, we have leveled 14 ,766 detainers for the state of New York. That means individuals that are locked up, that have extensive criminal backgrounds, that the state of New York has in custody. we've asked for 14 ,766 detainers to be honored because these are illegals that should never be released back on the streets. Silence. Absolute silence is what we've got from New York off of those retainers. To give you a perspective, those 14 ,766 detainers on criminals that are currently locked up, It's currently locked up. It represents 47 ,750 felony charges. So you have to ask yourself, why would they release these individuals back onto the streets?
What the model flagged
Analyzed 2026-10-09 13:30 UTC.
Findings may include language that is quoted rather than the speaker's own, and the model over-reads ceremonial language (tributes, anniversaries) as persuasion. Check each finding against the original.
Loaded Language 75%
The phrase 'extensive criminal backgrounds' is emotionally charged language designed to trigger fear and disgust rather than simply convey factual information — for example: 'extensive criminal backgrounds'
“extensive criminal backgrounds”
Appeal to Fear 85%
The phrase 'should never be released back on the streets' implies a dire threat to public safety if these individuals are freed, designed to provoke fear — for example: 'should never be released back on the streets'
“should never be released back on the streets”
Repetition 75%
The phrase 'currently locked up' is repeated twice within the same sentence for rhetorical emphasis, reinforcing the framing of these individuals as dangerous — for example: 'currently locked up, It's currently locked up'
“currently locked up, It's currently locked up”
Card Stacking 75%
The figure of 47,750 felony charges is presented as a straightforward fact alongside the detainer count, but no context is provided about the nature of the charges, their severity, or whether they resulted in convictions — selectively presenting raw numbers to maximize alarm
Conspiracy Appeal 70%
The rhetorical question implies that New York authorities are deliberately and inexplicably choosing to endanger the public, hinting at a hidden or sinister motive behind their inaction — for example: 'why would they release these individuals back onto the streets?'
“why would they release these individuals back onto the streets?”
