Friday, August 28, 2026
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's directive limiting cooperation between state and local police agencies and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement has drawn legal challenges from multiple county sheriffs. One unnamed Republican official stated that Hochul does not prioritize public safety, according to the article. Hochul's office has not released a detailed public response to the sheriffs' lawsuit as of the article's publication. The policy restricts when local law enforcement can detain individuals solely on ICE requests.
