LOCK HER UP!' New York AG Letitia James Makes Outrageous Move POLK Against ICE Agents - She's Not Going To Get Away With This
NEW YORK, N.Y. — June 19, 2026
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday the launch of a portal for New Yorkers to submit photos and videos of federal immigration enforcement activities following an ICE raid on Canal Street that resulted in the arrest of nine individuals described as illegal aliens with criminal histories.
In a post on the social media platform X, James stated that her office would “review and investigate any violations of the law” based on submissions from the public. She said every New Yorker has the right to live without fear or intimidation and urged those who witnessed or documented ICE activity to share footage with her office for review.
The announcement came amid broader Democratic efforts to monitor ICE operations in multiple cities. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said the House Oversight Committee plans to launch a “master ICE tracker” on its website to document verified locations of ICE agents. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) claimed during a press conference that ICE agents wrongly detained four U.S. citizens for nearly 24 hours without charges during the Canal Street operation, describing the actions as “lawless terror.”
In San Francisco, which is preparing for increased ICE presence, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested that state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they violate California law during enforcement operations. Legal experts have noted that the ability of states to prosecute federal officers is limited and generally applies only when agents act outside their legal authority.
James is scheduled to appear in federal court in Virginia on Friday to face charges related to mortgage fraud. She was indicted earlier this month on allegations that she misrepresented a property in Norfolk, Virginia, as a second home on a mortgage application in August 2020. Prosecutors allege the misrepresentation allowed her to obtain a lower interest rate, saving approximately $18,933 over the life of the loan, and that the property was later rented out in violation of the loan terms. The case was referred by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte.
The developments occur as the Trump administration has expanded immigration enforcement operations in several major cities. Critics of the federal actions have raised concerns about potential overreach and the treatment of individuals during raids. Supporters argue the operations target individuals with criminal records and are necessary to enforce federal immigration law.

James’s portal and the proposed congressional tracker have drawn criticism from those who view them as efforts to interfere with or intimidate federal law enforcement officers. Supporters of the initiatives argue they provide transparency and accountability for federal operations conducted within local communities.
The criminal case against James will proceed separately in federal court in Virginia, where she is expected to enter a plea on the mortgage fraud charges.
