Federal officials will deputize hand-picked Nassau County cops to crack down on illegal immigrants as part of a controversial new deal that defies the state’s sanctuary status, details of the agreement reveal. The pact between the county and the feds would designate 10 county cops to train with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, giving them unprecedented authority to detain illegal and criminal migrants without warrants on their turf — at the county’s expense, The Post has learned. The deal also mandates that Nassau police hold migrants until ICE can take them into custody, which flies in the face of the state’s controversial policy not to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
