"The NYPD "has an obligation to intervene and take appropriate action, including arrest, when federal immigration officers engage in conduct that is unlawful," Goldman wrote Thursday in a letter to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch."
""When they are acting outside the scope of their legal authority, they are no different than anyone else and their conduct is subject to New York criminal laws, including felony assault," Goldman wrote."
Rep. Dan Goldman requested the New York Police Department intervene when federal immigration agents engage in unlawful conduct amid rising tensions over immigration enforcement. The request followed reporting that identified 170 instances in which ICE agents detained U.S. citizens. Goldman wrote to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch that federal officers acting beyond legal authority are subject to New York criminal laws, including felony assault. The Trump administration has deployed federal agents to multiple cities and warned New York could be next. An ICE officer accused of pushing an Ecuadoran woman was briefly relieved and later returned to work; lawmakers urged investigation.
