Today, Representative Jerrold Nadler (NY-12) and NYS Assemblymember Micah Lasher (AD/69) released the following statement on ICE agents entering a Columbia University dorm and detaining a student:

“We are disgusted and outraged that ICE agents entered a Columbia University residential building under false pretenses and without a judicial warrant to detain a student. 
  
“ICE has no place in our City, schools, and homes. Law enforcement agents should not, under no circumstance, misrepresent their identity to gain entrance into a residence. These actions do not keep us safe, they only sow distrust and fear into our community. ICE is terrorizing our neighbors and ripping students from their homes. We are doing everything in our power to help bring the student home.”
