New York’s prime elected attorneys were like deer in headlights when pressed about a congressional investigation claiming they’d directed workers to downgrade unlawful immigrants’ expenses to keep away from deportation.

The attorneys — state AG Letitia James, and metropolis District Attorneys Melinda Katz and Eric Gonzalez — stared blank-faced when requested by The Post about the damning report at a Thursday gun-safety press convention.

“Did any of you order prosecutors to downgrade gun charges to keep illegal immigrants in the US, per the Judiciary Committee report the recent house judiciary report?” a reporter requested, explaining the report could clearly point out a gun-safety problem.

But the attorneys merely smiled and blinked — with Katz even throwing her arms up in a shrug.

“This is a gun-safety question,” The Post adopted up. “Any response from any of you?”

“Our answer couldn’t help it,” Katz ultimately muttered, before somebody requested for “any other on-topic questions” and hustled the presser alongside.

The attorneys refused to communicate on the House investigation again after their information convention — with James smiling with out a phrase at the query and Katz deferring to her spokesperson.

The awkward dodges went down just days after The Post revealed a House Judiciary Committee report claiming elected Democratic DAs in the Big Apple directed workers to downgrade sometimes alarming expenses in an outright effort to preserve unlawful immigrants from being deported.

Katz, for instance, reportedly directed her prosecutors to “exercise extreme caution” when dealing with expenses against unlawful immigrants, advising her workers to “not get caught up in the label of [f]elonies, [m]isdemeanors,” the GOP-led investigation cited from her workplace communications.

Even little one intercourse crimes were to be handled with white gloves — with the Judiciary Committee accusing Bronx DA Darcel Clark of ordering her workers to observe “immigration-conscious plea bargaining” and “[o]ffer something that does not have the child’s age as an element of the crime.”
