New York State Attorney General Leticia James has established a web site to allow Nwew Yorkers to upload evidence of ICE misconduct.
Now we know who is watching the watchmen, in New York state, at least.
The New York state attorney general, Letitia James, rolled out a “Federal Action Reporting Portal” form urging New York residents to share photos and videos of federal immigration enforcement action across the state, just a day after a high-profile ICE raid rattled Manhattan’s Chinatown and prompted hundreds to come out in protest.
A US congressman revealed in a Wednesday press conference that four US citizens were arrested and held for “nearly 24 hours” after Tuesday’s raid. Protests broke out in New York on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
“Every New Yorker has the right to live without fear or intimidation,” James wrote in a statement announcing the portal.
“If you witnessed and documented ICE activity yesterday, I urge you to share that footage with my office. We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law.”
Even if they are federal agents, ICE is still subject to the jurisdiction of the states and municipalities in which they operate.
Maybe the city should keep Rikers Island open just for them.
