| Palestinian protester’s US deportation case cites internal record shared by NYPD |
| 2025-05-04 |
| [IsrelTimes] Legal experts accuse police of violating city law barring cooperation with federal immigration authorities by providing arrest record of Leqaa Kordia at anti-Israel rally last year New York City’s police department provided US federal immigration authorities with an internal record about a Paleostinian woman they arrested at a protest, which the White House is now using as evidence in its bid to deport her, according to court documents obtained by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. The report — shared by the NYPD in March — includes a summary of information in the department’s files about Leqaa Kordia, a New Jersey resident who was arrested at a protest outside Columbia University last spring. It lists her home address, date of birth and an officer’s two-sentence account of the arrest. Its distribution to federal authorities offers a glimpse into behind-the-scenes cooperation between the NYPD and the Trump administration, and raises questions about the city’s compliance with sanctuary laws that prohibit police from assisting with immigration enforcement efforts. |
