New York attorney general launches federal immigration officer monitor project

Observers from the New York Attorney General's office will monitor and document federal immigration enforcement actions across the state, Letitia James announced Tuesday.

The legal observers, drawn from volunteers in the attorney general's office, will not interfere with enforcement actions, and wear easily identifiable vests as they document Immigration Customs and Enforcement activity, she said.

"We have seen in Minnesota how quickly and tragically federal operations can escalate in the absence of transparency and accountability," James said in a statement. "My office is launching the Legal Observation Project to examine federal enforcement activity in New York and whether it remains within the bounds of the law."

The legal observers are meant to compile independent records of ICE conduct in the state that could, where potential violations occur, assist the attorney general's office in any litigation.

The attorney general also urged New York residents to submit videos and other documentation of federal immigration enforcement to her office's website.

I wonder if she realizes those illegals compete with blacks for Most-Favored-Minority status.

"We have seen in Minnesota how quickly and tragically federal operations can escalate in the absence of transparency and accountability," James said

But the absence of transparency is from state and local officials who refuse turn over their murderers, rapist, and child molesters to immigration agents.

SHE does't have to worry about coming into contact with violent, illegal criminals in New York - she has plenty of taxpayer paid for protection around her.

This is what she should be investigating, but won't:

"NYC Hospital Staff Mistreated Injured Undercover Cops Thinking They Were ICE Officers"

“'Kristi Noem Will Hang' — NYC Mob Calls for Killing of ICE Agents, DHS Secretary"

What the likes of James wish to protect:

"Guatemalan Suspect Arrested for Strangling Cabbie, Dumping Body in NY Reservoir Is Obama Illegal Under Deportation Order – DHS"

It’s hilarious to watch her and others get bent about this.

Maybe some black guys could walk around with a sign on their back saying “Take My Job!”?

It would make about as much sense.

Tish has to do something to keep herself amused until Jan. 21, 2029, when she can resume her lawfare against Trump.

Never mind the out of control, lunatic “protestors” - monitor and investigate the officers who have to deal with them.

These fools think the local police are going to confront federal agents.

She should monitor the State's prison system, Hochul, and the people running them. They're still using National Guardsmen in the prisons because they can't get anyone to take the job, still forcing correctional staff to work 24 hour shifts, despite a wild cat strike about a year ago.

"As of the end of January 2026, approximately 3,000 National Guard members remain assigned to 34 correctional facilities in New York State. This deployment is a response to the ongoing staffing shortages and challenges faced by the state's correctional facilities following a wildcat strike that began in February 2025. The National Guard's presence in the prisons is expected to continue as the state works on its recovery and rebuild efforts."

N.Y.'s prison strike response tops $1B as National Guard deployment continues

It looks like the DOJ has given up on ever bringing her to justice. Not a peep about it in ages.
