The main focus is on a new immigration enforcement operation by ICE that began in Queens and is expected to expand citywide. This operation targets undocumented immigrants, especially those with prior immigration detainers not enforced. It follows a recent political stance by New York Governor Kathy Hochul,who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-ag-launches-police-shooting-investigation-teams-to-probe-officer-involved-killings\/\" title=\"California AG Launches \u2018Pol...
