New York Attorney General Letitia James is conducting a misconduct investigation into local law enforcement's collaboration with federal agencies on immigration enforcement. The AG's office has requested documents from Oswego County Sheriff Don Hilton regarding any agreements and training related to immigration law enforcement. The investigation also seeks details about traffic stops and ICE detainer requests. The AG’s office clarified that the investigation is focused on potential misconduct rather than targeting counties for their cooperation with federal authorities.
Attorney General is conducting an investigation pursuant to New York Executive Law § 75(3) and has reasonable cause to believe that the Oswego County Sheriff's Office has information relevant to that investigation.
The AG's office asked Oswego County Sheriff Don Hilton for documents outlining any cooperation between local law enforcement officials and federal agencies, including Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
