[FRIAM] Immigrant Protection

[Merle Lefkoff]

This just came in tonight from the NY Daily News:

Don't count on the NYPD to help with President Trump’s directive to round
up undocumented immigrants.

Police Commissioner James O’Neill had a defiant message for the President
on Wednesday — saying his officers will not enforce administrative warrants
issued by federal immigration officials as a result of the expansive
deportation policies

.

“It is critical that everyone who comes into contact with the NYPD,
regardless of their immigration status, be able to identify themselves or
seek assistance without hesitation, anxiety or fear,” O’Neill said in the
sharply worded, 431-word internal memo to police officers.
