NYU Law Forum—When the Border Comes to Town: ICE in America’s Cities

PLEASE RSVP HERE

At this Forum, three NYU Law experts (including a former top US Department of Justice official) and a longtime former police officer and police chief will discuss recent enforcement surges by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in cities around the country. The federal government has long enforced immigration laws. The question is why its efforts to do so over the past year have drawn so much attention—and raised so many concerns. Among the topics panelists will discuss are the typical relationship between federal and state/local law enforcement, and how has that changed; differences between ICE and state/local officers in training and rules around such things as masking, identification, body cameras, warrant requirements, and use of deadly force; and potential avenues of accountability when ICE agents may have violated the law.
