Blow to undocumented immigrants of NYC: NYPD teams up with ICE to increase deportations
Story by Joe Brennan • 49m
Police in New York will soon be given the power to ask citizens on the street about their migratory status in another wave of measures set to increase deportation numbers.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are set to team up with police in Nassau (New York State) in plans put in place by President Trump that will see said detectives given the same authority as federal immigration agents.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican and Trump ally, announced Tuesday that work to detain those who are in the country illegally will be increased in the first project of this scale in the country.
“I want to stress that this program is about illegal migrants who have committed crimes,” said Blakeman. “This isn’t about raids. This is targeted enforcement of our laws based here in the state of New York — people who have committed crimes here and have violated federal laws by being in the United States illegally.”
