Several counties are taking matters into their own hands to address illegal immigration and public safety concerns by partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Nassau County, New York, has made it clear that it does not support sanctuary policies and has taken significant steps to assist in the deportation of criminal migrants.

Since 2022, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has upheld a firm stance against sanctuary policies. One of his first actions in office was to sign an executive order declaring Nassau County a non-sanctuary jurisdiction. This policy has led to a formal partnership with ICE, including the designation of 10 detectives to work directly with the agency on targeted enforcement operations. Additionally, the county has allocated 50 beds at its detention facility to house individuals detained by ICE while they undergo federal immigration processing.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has not actively supported ICE collaboration, and while no official statement from her administration has explicitly opposed Nassau County’s efforts, it is widely believed that she does not align with the county’s approach.

For years, Nassau County has battled criminal activity from organizations such as MS-13. The threat posed by criminal migrants was underscored by a recent case in which a Honduran national, who had previously raped a young girl, managed to remove his ankle monitor using burglary tools. Such incidents reinforce Nassau County’s commitment to deporting dangerous individuals rather than allowing them to remain in the community.

New York State’s bail reform laws have significantly limited judicial discretion in detaining criminals. Many offenders are released back into the community, increasing the risk of recidivism. Nassau County’s partnership with ICE provides an alternative approach, ensuring that violent offenders who are in the country illegally are not simply released to reoffend.

Despite the challenges posed by New York’s sanctuary state policies, Nassau County remains committed to public safety. Sanctuary policies prevent local law enforcement from coordinating with ICE, complicating efforts to detain and deport criminal migrants. However, by deputizing 10 detectives with the same authority as ICE agents, Nassau County has found a legal workaround. These detectives, while fulfilling their regular law enforcement duties, also possess the authority to arrest individuals who are in the country illegally and have committed crimes, provided there is a judicial warrant.

Under former President Donald Trump’s administration, ICE significantly increased enforcement efforts. Arrests of illegal migrants surged by 626%, and deportation efforts included sending individuals deeper into Mexico, closer to Guatemala, making it more difficult for them to reenter the United States.

Despite legal and political challenges, Nassau County continues to prioritize the safety of its residents by working closely with ICE. County officials argue that without this partnership, the inability to detain and deport dangerous individuals would further endanger the community. As debates over immigration policies persist at the state and federal levels, Nassau County’s approach serves as a model for other jurisdictions seeking to balance public safety with existing legal constraints.
