Exciting news! My book Exit Strategies is now on Amazon, available for pre-order!! Would love your help to spread the word! Pre-ordering before Nov 13 launch date is super important, because order volume advises Amazon how many copies to print! Thank you for your support!!

Today, New York State told 12 law enforcement agencies it’s time to end their 287(g) agreements with ICE. Public safety is strongest when local cops are focused on local crime.
