Hochul remains defiant after sheriffs sue over law banning cooperation with ICE: 'Bring it on'

More than a dozen sheriffs are suing over state law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul, which prohibits local law enforcement from entering agreements with ICE for civil immigration matters. The Local Cops, Local Crimes Act took effect, barring partnerships to assist on civil immigration issues. Despite lawsuits and subpoenas issued by Attorney General Letitia James's office, Hochul maintained her stance, threatening legal action against any department that ignores the state law.
