Sag Harbor, NY – Assemblyman Schiavoni released the following statement following breaking news of several ICE raids across the South Fork of Long Island:

Assemblyman Schiavoni said, “This morning, masked ICE Agents conducted raids in Hampton Bays and Westhampton. These agents descended on our communities and immediately began detaining civilians, causing fear and panic. Thousands across the country are being snatched off the streets without due process. Not only is this an affront to the United States Constitution and the New York State Constitution, but the lack of transparency harms the relationship of trust between public officials, law enforcement, and the public, putting civilians and law enforcement in danger.

I am deeply disappointed at this violation of due process and human dignity.”
