NY Sheriffs Sue Over ICE Partnership Ban | Rochester News

Fifteen New York sheriffs are suing Governor Hochul and Attorney General James over a new state law banning local police from partnering with ICE under 287(g) agreements — a move they say undermines public safety, while the governor defends it as necessary to curb ICE’s “aggressive tactics.” The sheriffs argue these partnerships are vital for community protection, especially as their numbers have surged recently. The state dismisses the lawsuit as a costly distraction, confident courts will uphold the law — and all NY law enforcement must comply. This legal showdown exposes deep divides over how immigration enforcement should be handled locally. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
