More than 30 residents press Millerton board to limit cooperation with ICE
Summary
During the July 29 special meeting, over thirty residents from Millerton and the Town of North East spoke to ask the board to limit cooperation between local law enforcement and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the minutes record widespread public interest but no formal action was taken.
A large group of residents used the public-comment period at the Village of Millerton Board of Trustees special meeting to request limits on cooperation between local law enforcement and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The meeting minutes state that "Village of Millerton and Town of North East residents" came forward to "discuss limiting cooperation between our local law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement," and that over thirty members of the public spoke on the matter. The minutes do not record a formal board response or any motion directing staff to pursue a policy change during the meeting.
The public comment exchange indicates strong community interest. The board did not take formal action on this topic at the July 29 meeting; any policy consideration would require an agenda item or resolution at a subsequent meeting.
