莱蒂夏·詹姆斯(Letitia James)周二宣布，纽约总检察长办公室的观察员将监督和记录全州的联邦移民执法行动。
她说，法律观察员来自司法部长办公室的志愿者，他们不会干扰执法行动，在记录移民海关和执法活动时会穿着易于识别的背心。
詹姆斯在一份声明中说:“我们已经在明尼苏达州看到，在缺乏透明度和问责制的情况下，联邦行动可以多么迅速和悲惨地升级。”。“我的办公室正在启动法律观察项目，以检查纽约的联邦执法活动，以及它是否仍在法律范围内。”

New York attorney general launches federal immigration officer monitor project
Observers from the New York Attorney General's office will monitor and document federal immigration enforcement actions across the state, Letitia James announced Tuesday.
The legal observers, drawn from volunteers in the attorney general's office, will not interfere with enforcement actions, and wear easily identifiable vests as they document Immigration Customs and Enforcement activity, she said.
"We have seen in Minnesota how quickly and tragically federal operations can escalate in the absence of transparency and accountability," James said in a statement. "My office is launching the Legal Observation Project to examine federal enforcement activity in New York and whether it remains within the bounds of the law."

The legal observers are meant to compile independent records of ICE conduct in the state that could, where potential violations occur, assist the attorney general's office in any litigation.
The attorney general also urged New York residents to submit videos and other documentation of federal immigration enforcement to heroffice's website.
