Immigration Attorney Advises Residents on Rights in the middle of increased ice activity in New York
Capital Region, New (WRGB) – Federal ICE agents cracked down on illegal immigrants in New York City on Tuesday morning.
“My understanding is that they had specific names of people who committed crimes, serious offenders,” said Governor Hochul. “These are exactly the people we want to remove from the state of New York.”
So far, we have not heard of attacks in the metropolitan region, but county leaders CBS 6 talked on Tuesday say they expect them to come soon.
Emma Quinn asked, “What are you taking from what they are doing as far as this crash and how they are going to do it?”
Rens Selaer County Executive Steve McClaughlin: “Now we have welcomed what I think is enough. America is strongly back. “
From December 2024, Renseslaer County is the only municipality in New York participating in the federal 287 program.
“If we already have someone in our prison, they have been arrested, we will drive them through a federal database to make sure they are not wanted by ICE. We see it as the right thing to do to make sure they are not MS-13 or Trendor Agua or another vicious gang that is going to jeopardize our people, ”said County Executive McClaughlin.

County Director Dan McCoy says he got a lot of insight from traveling to the southern border on a delegation trip last year.
“The amount of rapist who came back in the country and when you talk to border patrols and you can see it on their face it was alarming. I don’t care what party you were, oh, you know we had an invasion of criminals who came into this country as well as hardworking people, right? “
Immigration Attorney Cianna Freeman-Tolbert says if the ice is approaching you you know you have rights
“What I tell all my clients is that I give them my card and I say listening if ice is approaching you, say I don’t understand let me call my lawyer or I won’t answer let me call To my lawyer, pull it up on it, call me on the mobile phone and give the phone directly to the is officer, ”she says.
Republican New York Congress Member Nick Langworthy spoke to Buffalo immigration officers on Tuesday, he says agents tell him that most of the attacks are happening at the northern border, not the southern border.
“We have a good partner to North, Canada, which has very different immigration laws. It’s far easier to enter Canada than the United States even before January 20,” Langworthy said.
