- The New York State Police have quietly built a database of over 5,000 alleged gang members using speculative criteria like tattoos, clothing, and associations.
- Governor Kathy Hochul has said the State Police, which she controls, won’t cooperate with President Trump’s mass deportation campaign — yet the agency funnels the gang database into a federal system that makes it instantly available to ICE.
- The Trump administration is carrying out extrajudicial mass deportations of immigrants with alleged gang ties — justified, in cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s, by gang databases maintained by local police departments.
Of course these are all suspected gang members, so there are like 12 people who should actually be on this list of several hundred thousand people. Just a guess?!
