"New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday launched the Legal Observation Project, which will collect reports of enforcement actions throughout New York and send trained personnel to observe and document that activity where appropriate, as well as any related protests that occur. These legal observers will serve as neutral witnesses on the ground, recording information that may inform future legal action."
"As federal immigration enforcement activity increases nationwide, the project will help ensure that accurate, real-time information is collected and preserved, and that any violations of law are identified. Trained OAG employees, participating on a purely voluntary basis, will staff the project. OAG will send teams of legal observers to the location of reported immigration enforcement activities, wearing easily identifiable, purple OAG-branded safety vests, to witness and document enforcement actions, but not to intervene."
New York State launched the Legal Observation Project to monitor and document federal immigration enforcement across the state and protect residents' rights. The project will collect reports of enforcement actions and deploy trained OAG personnel to observe and document activities and related protests when appropriate. Legal observers will serve as neutral witnesses, recording information that could inform future legal action. Trained OAG employees will participate voluntarily, wear purple OAG-branded safety vests, and will not intervene in enforcement. The public is urged to submit videos or records of federal immigration enforcement actions through a secure online portal to supplement documentation.
