Hochul warns Nassau counties on ICE deals
A new state law in New York requires 12 law enforcement agencies, including Nassau County Police, to terminate their agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by August 25, limiting local involvement in federal immigration enforcement. The law, part of the Local Cops Local Crimes Act signed by Governor Hochul, restricts how local agencies cooperate with ICE, except in criminal matters, and aims to prevent the diversion of local resources for federal civil immigration enforcement. Nassau County, which has worked closely with ICE, has been given until August 14 to report on their cooperation status and steps to end these agreements.
