Class action lawsuit accuses ICE of unlawful stops, warrantless arrests in NY

New York Daily News
A class action lawsuit alleges ICE agents in New York unlawfully stopped and arrested Latinos based on racial profiling.

Summary

A class action lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court accuses ICE agents of conducting suspicionless stops and unlawful arrests of Latinos in New York City and Long Island, based solely on their appearance. The lawsuit, brought by the Legal Aid Society, the NYCLU, Make the Road NY, and others, details instances where individuals were detained for days or weeks while their immigration status was verified. Plaintiffs claim they were stopped during everyday activities like driving children to school or pumping gas. Attorneys argue ICE agents are violating federal laws requiring reasonable suspicion and probable cause before arrests, potentially driven by Trump administration arrest quotas. New York State Attorney General Letitia James condemned the alleged tactics as “illegal and unconscionable,” emphasizing that residents should not fear targeting based on their skin color. The lawsuit highlights agreements between ICE and local police departments, such as in Nassau County, granting agents broad authority to question citizenship status and make warrantless arrests. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have not yet responded to requests for comment.
