'U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman asks the NYPD to enforce state law against federal agents'

(MS NOW) "U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman has asked the New York Police Department to intervene when federal agents engage in unlawful conduct in the midst of heightening tensions over the U.S. government’s immigration crackdown."

"Goldman, a former prosecutor, made the request after ProPublica reported it had found 170 cases where ICE agents detained U.S. citizens."

"The NYPD 'has an obligation to intervene and take appropriate action, including arrest, when federal immigration officers engage in conduct that is unlawful,' Goldman wrote Thursday in a letter to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch."

“ 'When they are acting outside the scope of their legal authority, they are no different than anyone else and their conduct is subject to New York criminal laws, including felony assault,' Goldman wrote."
