The Issue: New York lawmakers’ ban on cooperation between native law enforcement and ICE.
New York lawmakers have determined that state law can supersede federal law relating to immigration (“NY freezes out ICE,” May 22).
So, ICE brokers — not the rapists and murderers let into this nation — are the dangerous guys?
The solely answer to such insanity is to cut federal funds going to progressives who misuse them. Wake up, New York, and vote your manner out of this mess.

Gov. Hochul’s ruling on ICE in New York “handcuffs cops” — actually?
NYPD officers spend six months within the Police Academy, many weeks in area coaching and 24 months on supervised probation. ICE brokers, alternatively, spend eight weeks in academy coaching and 4 weeks in area coaching.
Considering undocumented immigrants have considerably decrease crime charges than US-born residents (don’t sneer — Google it), I believe Hochul’s ruling was precisely heading in the right direction.

Gov. Hochul’s anti-ICE law — which is able to entice the gangbangers, little one molesters and drug sellers to New York — is nothing more than appeasement of President Trump’s haters.
