OCA D‏irective on ICE arrests in state courthouses

The Office of Court Administration issued a new directive last Wednesday that states that ICE must obtain a judicial warrant issued by a federal judge or federal magistrate judge to make an arrest inside a New York courthouse. ICE makes most arrests with administrative warrants signed by immigration enforcement officials. The New York Unified Court System is the first in the nation to put such a rule in place.
