Jose Nieves gave an interview with Impacto Latino magazine. Jose explained to journalist Ximena Hidalgo that as Queens DA he will make the criminal justice system in Queens County fair and equal for everyone in Queens and not just the privileged few. He will focus the work of the approximately 300 prosecutors in the District Attorney’s office on protecting all Queens families and residents by zealously prosecuting violent crimes, sexual assaults, domestic violence, hate crimes, human trafficking, public corruption, fraud and the illegal sale and distribution of guns and drugs in our communities. Jose also stated that he will institute an immigration hardship plea policy on day one of his administration.
