The wealthy residents of East Hampton went into panic mode over the possibility their hired help could face expulsion from the US as part of Donald Trump's mass deportation program.
The exclusive Long Island village - with an average home value of $2 million and residents that include Sylvester Stallone's daughters - held an emergency meeting amid fears that ICE would round up the employees of locals.
East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo tried to quell their fears by insisting that local cops were not required to assist ICE.
'The only way any of my officers could ever enforce federal immigration law is if they were deputized,' he said. 'The town board would not allow any of our officers to be deputized.'
One migrant resident who spoke at the board meeting was overcome with emotion.
'It's really hard for me when my 10-year-old daughter asked me, "Mom, are you legal?,"' Daniela Rivas said, while adding that others were too 'scared' to attend the event.
'The most important thing we need to focus on right now is our kids. While they're at school, they're scared that when they go back home their parents won't be there.'
East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson reiterated that local police would not assist federal actions: 'If it is an ICE detainer or an administrative warrant, we do not have the authority, we will not hold them.'
The development came as Attorney General Pam Bondi warned sanctuary cities they 'are going to be next' if local officials continue to harbor and protect illegal aliens over the safety of citizens.
Chief Sarlo told the East Hampton Star: 'I haven't seen an ICE agent in this town in I can't tell you how long.'

Don’t break the law and you won’t be scared!
That’s right!
I’d like to see ICE start with Schwartz Gyorgy.
BTTT
Every one of them had the opportunity to go through the process of naturalization, but chose not to.
Especially the ones that the man of the house has gotten pregnant.
I’m sure Arnold Schwarzenegger and Doug Emhoff would agree.
There is also a work visa. As long as the don’t break the law they should be good.
Obviously.
“Chief Sarlo told the East Hampton Star: ‘I haven’t seen an ICE agent in this town in I can’t tell you how long.”
That clearly needs to change.

“God I know I’m rich but don’t take away my slave labor.” I hope Homan burns them down. This is bs. IMO
I know that this sounds wrong...but can these super rich people ‘buy’ their nannies some form of temporary stay? You know..sponsor these people for a few $100k?
Those rich snobs won’t do so because they’re cheapskates and hypocrites.
And hopefully it does soon.
They get very emotional about their cheap labor.
Thought for sure this was a Babylon Bee article when I saw the headline.
If they can pay $60 K per year in wages for a year for three years, along with reasonable room and board, in exchange for a 40 hour work week, and top that off with a $100k fringe benefit, then the can pay over $90k a year for a 40 hour week and there will be takers, both old and young (experienced grandmothers) who they can attract who are native born.
I imagine that even if they could pay this, they are looking to pay more in the $15,000-$30,000 range in exchange for a work week that in at least some ways is much more than 40 hours.
In a way, yes. They could hire an au pair. They could go to some agency that specializes in this sort of thing, SPONSOR that person and PAY THE FEE to bring them over and apply for and get a work visa for that person.
But that would cost more money you see....and despite them being rather comfortable, nothing is closer to their heart that that sweet sweet cheap labor.
Maybe throw in a harboring illegal charge to the folks that are hiring the nannies as well. That oughta be fun. We also ought to check out what’s going on Martha’s Vineyard as well.
No, it’s all about me! Me, me, me, me…..
