NYPD officer violated sanctuary city laws; several gaps found in department’s compliance with ICE, report finds

A New York City Department of Investigation (DOI) probe has found that a single NYPD officer violated city restrictions on assisting with federal civil immigration enforcement by placing automated alerts on individuals sought by immigration authorities, according to a report released Wednesday.

While the broader NYPD generally complies with local sanctuary laws, the DOI report found several gaps that leave the department vulnerable to improper information sharing.
