‘Disturbing': NYC lawmakers seek investigation into NYPD-ICE collaboration
Editor's note: The video above aired in a previous newscast. NEW YORK (PIX11) – New York City Council members are urging the Department of Investigations (DOI) to investigate whether the NYPD is sharing information with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Speaker Adrienne Adams, Council Member Gale Brewer, and Commissioner Jocelyn E. Strauber have requested the DOI investigate the NYPD's alleged collaboration with federal authorities. They are concerned that civil immigration enforcement may violate local laws. More Local News 'In recent days, we've witnessed masked agents of the Trump administration detain people following the law targeting our neighbors,' Speaker Adams said in a video posted to her X account. 'This is not about public safety; it makes us less safe. Reports that NYPD collaboration and information shared with federal agencies are being used in civil immigration proceedings are disturbing.' Adams also pointed out that sharing information with ICE for immigration enforcement violates New York City law since New York is a sanctuary city: a sanctuary city limits or declines to cooperate with the federal government's immigration law enforcement. In a press conference on Monday, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the force does not engage in civil immigration enforcement. In an email to PIX11 News, a spokesperson for the NYPD issued the following statement: 'The NYPD does not engage in civil immigration enforcement, period. As it has for many years, the NYPD works with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies on criminal investigations, including work on federal criminal task forces. That work is critical to getting dangerous individuals out of our communities, protecting our city from terrorism, and keeping our families safe.' Since January, the department has been under fire for working with ICE agents to 'go after criminals.' In May, the NYPD gave federal immigration authorities an internal record about a Palestinian woman arrested at a protest, now used by the Trump administration as evidence to deport her, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press.
