A sheriff in New York is resisting a recent directive from the state's governor that demands local law enforcement stop cooperating with U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Broome County Sheriff Fred Akshar criticized the order issued by Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, stating it compromises public safety.
The new law requires law enforcement agencies to end their agreements with ICE by August 25, part of a broader move to limit cooperation with immigration authorities.
Akshar expressed frustration with New York's political leaders, arguing their decisions often prioritize criminals over law-abiding citizens.
He highlighted his obligation to enforce laws but indicated he would still find ways to support ICE operations, particularly regarding dangerous individuals in custody.
The sheriff's comments reflect a growing tension between state policies and local law enforcement practices around immigration and public safety.
Sheriff Akshar's stance against the new law underscores a conflict over immigration enforcement in New York, as he seeks to protect the community while adhering to legislative changes.
