ROCHESTER, N.Y. — On Thursday, Governor Kathy Hochul proposed a plan to expand protections for New Yorkers. The plan aims to keep immigration authorities, such as ICE, out of “sensitive” locations and to protect interactions with public employees.
The plan looks to safeguard basic rights for those impacted, and to hold immigration officials accountable. Other aspects of the plan includes not allowing law enforcement members to cover their faces and to protect student rights to free public education, regardless of immigration status.
Local governments, state and local police, and state and local corrections are prohibited from entering agreements with the federal government to allow resources to be used for civil immigration purposes.
“New York prides itself on being the place that immigrants come to build a better life and we will not stand for senseless actions that stand in the way of that promise,” Governor Hochul said. “My top priority is keeping New Yorkers safe, which is why I’m proposing new measures to stop ICE’s flagrant abuse of power under the guise of public safety. By safeguarding basic rights and expanding protections that keep our communities safe, we are fighting to reassure every New Yorker that we will protect them from ICE overreach. The time to act is now.”
This is a part of a larger ‘Local Cops, Local Crimes Act’ by the governor. It is also one of multiple proposals meant to protect New Yorkers from immigration agencies.
More information on the proposals can be found on the governor’s website, here.
