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.

Kudos

It was so nice at the end of a chilly, challenging week to pick up the Rochester Business Journal today and read about the Meals on Wheels Business Adopt-A-Route program, which pairs volunteers from for-profit and nonprofit organizations with meal delivery routes in their vicinity. The program is coordinated by friend of the library Julie Cunningham. Kudos to Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP Partner Paul Groschadl, who has delivered meals for Meals on Wheels some three decades, and to all within the legal community who support this awesome program!
