A big question is whether Stonegarden falls under the vaguely-worded law.
A group of sheriffs is suing over NY’s new law banning formal agreements between ICE and local law enforcement, arguing it could have broad consequences.

Some immigrants’ rights attorneys hope they’re right — and see opportunity in the law’s ambiguity.

A vaguely written state law raises questions about how and when the state will take action against collaboration. Some sheriffs are suing.

I made the point last night before the Stonegarden vote that the Democratic Party brand is a mess precisely because of stuff like this.

If Sheriff Baxter wasn't a Democrat, you would not see any Democrats voting for Stonegarden. Not one.

Tomorrow, legislature committees are voting on an Operation Stonegarden grant.
This is an easy no.

NEW: “Operation Stonegarden” pays New York sheriff’s deputies to work with Border Patrol.

Sheriffs say it has nothing to do with immigration.

But records show they've helped arrest dozens of immigrants through the program since 2023.

Local police should not be working with Border Patrol. 🚫

This is exactly why we need to pass New York For All. 🗽

Will Monroe County reconsider Operation Stonegarden?
Plans to relocate the Border Patrol station to Rochester’s federal building — and growing concern about immigration enforcement — are casting new attention on the long-running federal grant.

The sheriff of Santa Cruz County — along the U.S.-Mexico border — says his office will no longer participate in Operation Stonegarden. That’s the program that gives grants to local law enforcement in exchange for ramped up coordination with Customs and Border Protection.

To be fair ICE didn't get $175 billion, they got $75 billion; $45 billion for detention and $29.9 billion for enforcement, hiring, and other related purposes. Still a LOT. But not $175 billion.

Here's how our analysis of the bill broke down the immigration-related funding.

I just had a voter call and ask me why they didn't know about last night's Stonegarden vote.

I said because the media didn't cover it. Only one outlet did after the vote.

People want to know what's going on in legislative bodies before votes occur!

Thank you to Minority Reporter for covering this. I'll have more to say about last week's Public Safety and Ways and Means meeting, in which we discussed Operation Stonegarden funding. It wasnuts - we can't even have the county's agreement with the feds.

New York leaders vowed earlier this year to combat President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

Yet the measure Governor Hochul signed left local cops free to work with immigration agents through lesser-known programs like Operation Stonegarden.

Hit Stonegarden for a long, lazy lunch. This place is dialed in. They basically do a play on three things: omelettes, benedicts and toasts. Bonus broths you sip from a sturdy saucer. Everything tastes like a Venn Diagram perfect circle of home-cooked and decadent. Good stuff www.stonegardenmpls.com

New York Focus learned that Operation Stonegarden is facilitating immigration arrests, despite New York Democratic leaders’ insistence otherwise.

Here’s what else we found during our investigation into the program.

A New York Focus investigation has found that in some counties, Operation Stonegarden has turned local cops into occasional immigration agents — turning over at least 24 immigrants to Border Patrol since 2023.

And that’s likely an undercount.

Neat thing about DRAGON STRIKER; two characters are demonstrated as being explicitly gay in the text; Odward Stonegarden, who has a lovers-to-enemies relationship with Casper Ferreiro.

This is a welcome surprise...but also really frustrating, given the way they've treated queer rep in other shows.
