happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY.

Her office says the effort is the first of its kind by an AG.

New York Attorney General Letitia James

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social

My office is launching the Legal Observation Project, a new initiative to send trained legal observers to monitor and document federal immigration enforcement in New York.

I'll always protect New Yorkers' constitutional rights.

NY is putting extra eyes on immigration enforcement officers, state AG says

The state attorney general's office is training monitors to document ICE activities in New York.
