Southold Town officials are considering a new public safety law that would allow local police to respond to immigration enforcement operations, confirm that ICE agents are who they say they are, and document ICE activity for reporting to the town. Supporters of the law said it doesn’t restrict federal officers, but it would reassure all residents during ICE operations, which can be chaotic and even deadly. Some critics – like Glenn McCarty of Southold – said parts of the law appear redundant, unenforceable, or legally risky. “The town would face claims from both sides: residents who say the law was not followed, and federal activists who say it interferes with federal enforcement.” East Hampton Town and East Hampton Village passed their own versions of the public safety law earlier this year.
