Immigration enforcement in New York City, particularly at 26 Federal Plaza, reflects ICE’s increasing overreach of power. A civil offense is treated like a criminal offense, all without the protections afforded to someone being prosecuted as a criminal. This brief will examine ICE’s overreaching power and its impact on civil liberties and propose policy reforms to ensure congressional oversight measures, limits on ICE detainers, and expanded legal protections for immigrant families.
Inquiry-driven, this project may reflect personal views, aiming to enrich problem-related discourse.
