Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
Listen
up,
lawyers,
because
this
could
be
a
business
lead
for
you.
If
you’re
an
ICE
agent
and
you
violate
someone’s
constitutional
rights,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
every
New
Yorker
[has]
a
private
right
of
action
to
stop
them
in
court
and
[hold]
them
responsible….
— New
York
Gov.
Kathy
Hochul,
in
comments
given
during
a
“spirited”
speech
made
at
the
New
York
State
Bar
Association’s
Presidential
Gala,
where
she
encouraged
lawyers
to
fight
for
the
rule
of
law
while
reaffirming
her
support
for
legislation
that
would
allow
individuals
to
sue
ICE
agents
for
civil
rights
violations.
