New York’s attorney general has announced plans to deploy legal observers to monitor federal immigration enforcement actions in the state. Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday said the initiative will send observers in purple safety vests to areas of reported immigration enforcement activity to collect information “that may inform future legal action.” Tensions remain high nationwide over President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown, particularly following the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of federal agents in Minnesota. Videos of agents conducting immigration arrests throughout the country have drawn criticism over heavy-handed tactics, often going viral online.
