Department of Correction officers scheduled release times to facilitate ICE pickups and shared unsolicited information that could be used to expedite removals, according to the emails.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.City correction officers, largely barred from cooperating with federal immigration officials, on at least several occasions in recent years went above and beyond to coordinate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the deportation of incarcerated immigrants, according to a trove of emails unveiled during a City Council hearing Wednesday.
Emails introduced in the hearing were among hundreds between DOC and ICE from 2015 to 2019 that were obtained by Immigrant Defense Project and Black Alliance for Just Immigration, pursuant to public records request. Some of the communications were reviewed by Gothamist. Council Member Shekhar Krishnan later added, “These emails show a culture – a pattern and practice – of DOC regularly cooperating with ICE in contradiction of the laws passed by this body.”
If the person matches the criteria, DOC will notify ICE when their discharge process begins – only about the release timing. And, he said, officers will not hold people for pickup beyond the time that they’re legally authorized to be released, which is three hours after they post bail.But the emails obtained by the immigration advocates paint a much cozier relationship between ICE and DOC.
