The NYPD is under investigation for potentially breaching policy by sharing internal records about Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman arrested during a protest, with federal immigration authorities. The report contained her sealed arrest details, which should not have been accessible for law enforcement purposes. Kordia, now held in immigration detention, is facing deportation after her arrest was used in an ongoing crackdown against noncitizens linked to protests. The situation raises significant legal questions about the sharing of sensitive information between local and federal agencies.
The four-page NYPD report on Kordia was generated the same day and is now being used as evidence by the federal government in its bid to deport her.
This is under internal investigation and review. How it is that summons information was provided that is associated with a sealed arrest is what we are looking into now.
