ICE Agents Are Showing Up In Human Trafficking Courts
Beth Fertig, WNYC Senior Reporter covering courts and legal affairs, and Tina Luongo, attorney-in-charge of criminal practice at the Legal Aid Society talk about the fact that since President Donald Trump took office, immigration advocates across the country have claimed that there is a rise of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showing up in courthouses trying to detain people. Fertig details how ICE agents have even showed up at the Human Trafficking Intervention Court in Queens to arrest human trafficking victims, which was the focus of her latest feature for WNYC.
