R Street’s Jillian Snider speaks to Newsday about ICE sweeps on Long Island

Jill Snider, a retired NYPD officer and resident senior fellow for the Criminal Justice and Civil Liberties Program at center-right think tank the R Street Institute, told Newsday that the new quotas under Trump signal a stark shift from the last two decades, when police calls to ICE about low-level crimes did not lead to action.

“We’ve come to a point now where local law enforcement has to work in partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, even if they don’t ideologically agree with what’s going on,” Snider said.
