Long Island officials are doubling down on their anti-sanctuary stance and pledging to help federal immigration authorities — in stark contrast to several other municipalities across the country. Cops and elected officials pledged that Nassau and Suffolk counties aren’t and wouldn’t be sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants, brushing off calls from activists pushing back on what they claim is overreach from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a massive crackdown on illegal immigration. “They have a job to do, and we are going to support them the same way we support the DEA or the FBI chasing terrorists,” Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told The Post.
