Broome County Sheriff Frederick Akshar went to Capitol Hill Tuesday and did what Albany Democrats refuse to do: he said out loud that New York’s criminal justice system is broken by design.
Akshar, a former Republican state senator now serving as Broome County’s elected sheriff, accused Democrat lawmakers of defending criminals at the expense of law-abiding New Yorkers.
Akshar testified Tuesday before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement at a hearing titled “The Continuing Tragedy of Sanctuary Laws.”
The Broome County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he was called to Washington to discuss Gov. Kathy Hochul’s “Local Cops, Local Crimes Act” and the federal lawsuit filed by 15 New York sheriffs challenging Albany’s ban on ICE cooperation agreements.
