The deadline for the Oswego County Sheriff's Office to provide a vast amount of records of its work with federal agencies has now been extended, according to the sheriff’s office.

The New York State Attorney General’s Office is formally investigating the sheriff's office over its potential cooperation with federal agencies on immigration enforcement.

In a letter obtained by Spectrum News 1, Attorney General Letitia James’ office originally demanded the sheriff’s office turn over a range of documents by July 2.

The AG’s office is seeking records dating back to November 2024, including any agreements or communications with federal agencies such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security. The request also includes reports and body-worn camera footage related to any stops where federal agents were involved.

In a statement, the AG’s office noted the Law Enforcement Misconduct Investigative Office is reviewing whether any actions taken by the sheriff’s office may have violated the civil rights of New Yorkers.

Sheriff Don Hilton responded by saying his department has a long history of cooperation with federal agencies on public safety matters and remains committed to transparency, accountability, and service to the residents of Oswego County.
