“We are pleased to see that the NYPD is following the New York City detainer law, which is intended to limit the circumstances under which our local law enforcement honors an ICE detainer or otherwise cooperates with federal immigration authorities. It is patently illegal for local law enforcement to hold an individual because of an ICE detainer. These detainers lead to the detention of thousands of people each year without probable cause, without judicial approval, and without basic due process protections," the Legal Aid Society said.
