The\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>New York State Office of Court Administration has halted the ability of US federal immigration officials to arrest the Caribbean and other immigrants in-state courthouses without warrants.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Court officials issued the directive after receiving numerous reports about agents from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>arresting immigrants after court appearances.<\/p>\n

The non-profit organization, Legal Services NYC, said that a coalition of more than 100 organizations across New York State issued a new report on April 10 measuring the harmful impact of ICE\u2019s increased courthouse arrests on vulnerable immigrants\u2019 ability to access justice, including survivors of domestic and sexual violence, victims of human trafficking, single mothers and immigrant youth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

The report, which surveyed judges, district attorneys, public defenders, elected officials, and legal advocates from across the state, documents \u201cirrefutable evidence of ICE\u2019s devastating impact on New York State courts, including a 90 per cent drop in calls made to immigrant hotlines reporting crimes in certain locations.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The report also points to a 100 per cent decline in U Visa certification requests from immigrant victims of crime in Manhattan Family Court and significant drops in other boroughs.<\/p>\n

In addition, the report states that there\u2019s a rise in ICE-related threats from abusive partners; a rise in victims afraid to testify or seek help from courts; and major ICE-related disruptions to court programs and practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cStakeholders agree that New York State must take action,\u201d Legal Services NYC said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The report recommends the Office of Court Administration adopt new rules to protect equal access to justice in New York.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe data and experiences of court practitioners in this report underscore what advocates have been trumpeting over the last two years \u2014 ICE enforcement in our courts is instilling fear in immigrant communities, preventing victims and survivors of abuse from getting the legal help they need to keep themselves and their families safe,\u201d said\u00a0Terry Lawson, director of the Family and Immigration Unit at Bronx Legal Services, the Bronx office of Legal Services NYC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen people cannot access the judiciary, when they cannot pursue or defend their rights, when they must choose to stay home rather than seek access to justice, then a crucial branch of our functioning society is in peril, and it is up to all of us to protect it,\u201d he added. \u201cWe must safeguard our courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mizue Aizeki, acting executive director of the Immigrant Defense Project, another New York-based non-profit organization, said the different perspectives offered in the report \u201chighlight the havoc that ICE\u2019s practices are wreaking on the court system in New York State.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudges, public defenders, district attorneys, anti-violence advocates, elected officials and others have all repeatedly called on ICE to stop courthouse arrests,\u201d he said. \u201cYet ICE continues to refuse, instead escalating courthouse arrests and spreading its disruptive and harmful tactics throughout New York State.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York State Attorney General Letitia James, a former New York City Public Advocate, has also weighed in on the crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafe and universal access to the court of law are key to a fair, democratic society and a basic requirement in the vindication of individual rights,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cICE\u2019s indiscriminate campaign of courthouse arrests puts all New Yorkers at risk and goes against everything we stand for.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legal Services NYC said \u201cThe ICE Out of Courts Coalition\u201d compiled the report over the last year after meeting with the New York State Unified Court System\u2019s Office of Court Administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cICE\u2019s increased arrests in New York courts have resulted in a systemic denial of New York State residents\u2019 full and equal access to the courts, creating a chilling effect on our courts, disrupting essential court functions, and discouraging immigrant victims of sexual and domestic violence, human trafficking, single mothers, and immigrant youth from seeking legal help,\u201d Legal Services NYC said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Caribbean American New York State Assembly Member Michaelle C. Solages, who represents Nassau County in Long Island, a New York City suburb said \u201call New Yorkers, regardless of income, race, religion or immigration status deserve the opportunity to engage our courts to advocate for themselves and their interests.<\/p>\n

The Immigrant Defense Project said on Friday that it has documented an\u00a0alarming 1700 percent increase in ICE arrests and attempted arrests across New York State\u00a0under the Trump administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs leaders of the ICE Out of Courts Coalition, we are coordinating a campaign to get #ICEOutofCourts in New York State,\u201d the group said in a statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur statewide coalition of anti-violence advocates, public defenders, civil legal services providers, labor unions, and membership organizations have been calling on the New York State government \u2014 the Chief Judge, the legislature, and the governor \u2014 to stop ICE from targeting immigrant New Yorkers in the courts,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

The Immigrant Defense Project said the new court rule comes after a two-year community campaign by \u201cThe\u00a0ICE Out of Courts Coalition\u201d\u00a0pushing for court rules and legislation to keep ICE from \u201claying in wait\u201d for immigrant survivors of violence, witnesses, defendants and family members in and around courthouses across New York.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just last week, the coalition renewed the call for court rules in an\u00a080-page report\u00a0measuring the harmful impact of ICE\u2019s increased courthouse operations.<\/p>\n
