Newark's Mayor Calls Shooting Immigration Status "Irrelevant"
New York, NY
WNYC NEWSROOM August 14, 2007 —Newark's Mayor, Cory Booker, says he has no plans to change police policy, in the wake of a triple murder where two undocumented immigrants are the prime suspects.
BOOKER: In no way is obligation of city police department to be going around and doing the work of INS.
REPORTER: Booker's director of police, Garry McCarthy, says the immigration status of the suspects is "irrelevant." He also is dismissing reports that the execution-style murders were related to the violent Central American gang, MS-13.
Booker and McCarthy announced today extra video cameras for Newark's high crime neighborhoods. The cameras will be equipped with sensors, to allow them to swivel toward the sound of gunshots.
