New York to create team of legal observers to document ICE raids

Attorney general Letitia James says observers will monitor if Trump enforcement remains within bounds of the law'

New York is creating a team of legal observers that will don purple vests to monitor and record the Trump administration's immigration enforcement officers as they seek to detain and deport migrants, the state's attorney general said on Tuesday.

The announcement follows weeks of sometimes violent tumult in Minneapolis, where Donald Trump has deployed thousands of armed, masked agents as he tries to deport more migrants than any of his predecessors.
