You’d assume the job of a state legal professional normal is to seek out dangerous guys, or no less than assist different law-enforcement nab them, however simply attempt telling that to New York AG Letitia James — who’s now busy focusing on good guys, i.e, native law-enforcement officers who (heaven forfend!) even assume about serving to the feds detain unlawful immigrants.
As The Publish solely reported, James has demanded that Oswego County’s Sheriff’s Workplace hand over paperwork which will present cooperation with federal companies reminiscent of ICE and Homeland Safety.
This follows her comparable bullying of Nassau County’s Sheriff’s Workplace within the wake of stories that it has the nerve to assist the feds implement immigration legislation.
Sources say she’s more likely to goal extra counties.
To James, it appears, aiding immigration enforcement is the crime of the century, so she’ll use all her energy to cease it.
Please. Doesn’t her workplace have something higher to do?
Sure, we all know: New York’s wacko statutes and govt orders by Govs. Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul purport to limit native cops’ efforts to assist federal brokers implement immigration legislation.
But certainly there’s sufficient different work for her employees to deal with.
Crime statewide, for starters, rose 31% from 2019 to 2023, and 46% within the metropolis. The place’s James & Co. been?

However, sorry: Limitless pandering to the Democratic Get together’s left-wing base isn’t a severe statewide winner even in New York; the press corps (most of which is half of that base) could eat it up, however most voters received’t.
They nonetheless assume public servants are alleged to . . . serve the general public.
