NYPD Cops Permitted Direct ICE Contact by Legal Group

An exclusive news article published by Fox News Digital reveals that America First Legal (AFL), a conservative legal group, has released a new handbook encouraging police officers in New York City to defy sanctuary policies when dealing with immigration matters. The handbook, titled "Law Enforcement Official Immigration Cooperation Guide," was obtained by Fox News Digital and provides guidance on how police officers should comply with federal immigration laws even if local laws or policies demand otherwise. The article is focused on how AFL asserts that local politicians cannot use their positions to bypass the law or bully law enforcement officers who cooperate with ICE. AFL Senior Counsel James Rogers comments on the matter, emphasizing that local politicians are under no authority to silence or intimidate officers who aim to keep their communities safe.

According to the guide, local policies may create legal risks for those officers who adhere to those policies while ignoring federal law. The article highlights the guide's argument that the 1996 Immigration and Nationality Act and the 2002 Homeland Security Enhancement Act provide that local officials and law enforcement personnel should not impede police cooperation with ICE.

Following the release of the handbook, Fox News Digital reached out to New York City Hall for comment, but the city officials did not respond promptly.
