New York City Democrats are blocking ICE from detaining an illegal alien accused of randomly setting an apartment building on fire that killed four people and injured seven.

38-year-old Roman Amatitla, an illegal alien from Mexico, set a Queens apartment on fire last month.

He was reportedly sipping a beer while he watched the building burn and people jump from windows.

Amatitla was arrested last week and charged with eight counts of second-degree murder and first-degree arson.

The DHS said an ICE detainer for Amatitila was denied.

The Democrats are now protecting this monster.

“On April 14, ICE requested the NYCDOC not release this monster from jail back into American communities,” the DHS said.

“However, because of New York’s sanctuary politicians, the NYCDOC told ICE that they will REFUSE to cooperate,” they said.
