On June 24, 2025, the Central American Refugee Center (CARECEN), Haitian American Family of Long Island (HAFALI), the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, civil rights activist Marc Soto, and an anonymous undocumented resident filed this article 78 petition against Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) and Nassau County challenging NCPD’s March 2025 decision to enter into an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pursuant to INA Section 287(g). The agreement gave local law enforcement authority to perform immigration enforcement, working with ICE, in direct violation of New York law. Plaintiffs brought suit in the Supreme Court of Nassau County seeking preliminary and permanent injunctions setting aside the agreement as unlawful, plus attorneys' fees.
This case is ongoing.
