Investigation New York Gov. Cuomo sexual harassment allegations

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened to sue the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if it will not stop conducting illegal arrests in the state.

During a press conference on Thursday, Gov. Cuomo raised serious concerns about ICE’s operations across the state of New York. The governor noted that the increasing rate of ICE arrests and its tactics in conducting its operations are alarming.

According to Gov. Cuomo, they have serious concerns that the ICE operations “violate the Constitutional rights” of Americans and undocumented immigrants. The way the agency carries out its arrests “endangers public safety.”

The governor noted that in recent weeks, they’ve seen “harshness” in the behavior of ICE agents. It is becoming a major problem in farms across New York.

Farm owner said ICE agents showed no respect to the rule of law

In fact, John Collins, the owner of a dairy farm, which was raided by ICE, spoke during the press conference. Collins said ICE agents “aggressively” arrested his worker in front of his children. He added that “the federal authorities had no reason” to take the worker from the farm and his family.
