Pols to judge: Nix court nabs

CITY POLS and public defenders pushed the state’s chief judge Wednesday to bar ICE from making most arrests in state court houses.

Gov. Cuomo signed an order two weeks ago prohibiting the federal immigration agency from making arrests in state government buildings without a judicial warrant — but his order does not apply in the courts, where the state’s chief executive does not have jurisdiction.

Outside City Hall Wednesday, City Council members pushed chief judge Janet DiFiore to issue a similar order for courts, barring arrests unless agents have a warrant or order from a judge.

“We were shocked to hear from (the Office of Court Administration) and our chief judge that that order did not apply to our courthouses,” said Stan German, executive director of New York County Defenders.

Court officials maintain it would not be legal for them to prohibit arrests.
