Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called for an “emergency suspension” of sanctuary city protections as she toured the Brooklyn subway station where an illegal immigrant fatally torched a woman.

Noem ripped the Big Apple’s sanctuary laws that prevent crime-breaking migrants from being automatically handed over to ICE as she visited Coney Island’s Stillwell Avenue subway station, where Guatemalan national Sebastian Zapeta-Calil allegedly carried out the infamous arson attack.

“ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the NYC Department of Corrections to take this depraved alien into custody,” Noem raged on X.

“Because of current sanctuary city policy, the corrections department has indicated it will NOT honor the detainer.”

“This is disgusting. New York politicians are allowing the murder of their own citizens,” she continued.

“Governor Hochul should impose an emergency suspension of sanctuary protection by executive order NOW.”

Zapeta-Calil is being held without bail at Rikers Island.

Under the city’s current sanctuary status, law enforcement is prevented from cooperating with federal immigration authorities to hold migrants in custody until they can be picked up for deportation proceedings.

Mayor Eric Adams, for his part, has pushed to loosen sanctuary city laws to allow migrants charged with crimes to be deported before they even stand trial. Last month, Hizzoner promised to reopen the ICE office at Rikers, which closed in 2015, as he looks to cooperate more with the feds on the migrant crisis that’s cost the city $7 billion.

“Cancel me, because I’m going to protect the people of this city,” he previously said.

Zapeta-Cali, 33, was first booted from the US in June 2018 before illegally re-entering and making his way to New York City.  

The feds issued an order to detain Zapeta-Calil after his December arrest in the arson attack, but it was turned down under sanctuary city policies.

Sanctuary city jurisdictions vow not to cooperate with federal immigration authorities to hold migrants in custody until they can be picked up for deportation proceedings.

In the meantime, Zapeta-Calil’s murder case will wind through the Empire State’s court system. 

He’s currently in city custody on murder and arson charges over the gruesome attack on 57-year-old Debrina Kawam while she was sleeping on the train in December.

The unprovoked attack left the victim’s body so scorched that it was difficult for cops to immediately identify her.

“Mayor Adams has been clear that, all too often, New Yorkers are the victims of the same repeat offenders and that must end,” Hizzoner’s press secretary Kayla Mamelak said Thursday night.

“Depraved individuals — like the man who set a sleeping woman on fire on one of our subways — should have never been in our city. We share the DHS secretary’s frustration, but current city law does not allow us to turn this individual over without a judicial warrant or conviction,” she added.

“This individual was already deported once without any sort of accountability so we must do everything in our power to ensure that he is now convicted, serves a long jail sentence, and is kicked out of the country, once and for all, so he can never harm someone in our city again.”

The Post also reached out to ICE and the city’s Department of Correction but didn’t hear back immediately. 

Councilman Robert Holden (R-Queens) said sanctuary city policies have allowed dangerous criminals to “walk free.”

“The mayor had a chance to put this on last year’s ballot and failed,” he said. “He pledged executive orders but did nothing. Now, Governor Hochul won’t even entertain using her authority to fix this.

“This is lunacy.”
