Ball to discuss “new Rockefeller Drug Laws”—updated

April
21

Update: Ed Kowalski will not be appearing at the upcoming Greg Ball press conference. Ball’s media contact, Chris Arnold, said he made an error when sending out the press release.

On the heels of a trespassing program state Assemblyman Greg Ball unveiled in Mahopac last week, Ball is again expected to hold another immigration related press conference Thursday, this time in Carmel. The topic: “anti-deportation measures hidden in the state budget to be exposed by Ball.”

Ball is bringing experts, he said, to discuss a piece of legislation he is bringing forth that would close a loophole that allows criminal illegal immigrants to avoid deportation.

Ball claims that these criminals now can avoid deportation by getting them into treatment programs and not plead guilty. “Meaning that if they enter and complete treatment, they could have their case dismissed,” he said.

Ball is bringing his go-to immigration experts, former ICE agent Mike Cutler and Ed Kowalski, director of 9/11 Families for a Secure America to the outdoor event at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, 3 County Center, Carmel.

    Marcela, this is the first time I’ve heard about this event. I have no plans on being there.
