Gov. Kathy Hochul Expands Proposal to Protect New Yorkers Against ICE
The revised plan would bar 287(g) agreements and limit civil immigration cooperation while preserving criminal-case coordination, officials said.
- On Thursday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a revised immigrant protection proposal to bridge gaps with the Democrat-led Legislature, building on her January "Local Cops, Local Crimes Act" amid delayed budget talks.
- Prohibiting state and local officers from assisting federal agents with non-criminal violations, the plan also bans ICE agents from wearing masks and protects sensitive locations like schools and libraries, while preserving cooperation in criminal cases.
- Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie noted members remain unsettled regarding "probable cause" provisions, while advocates continue pushing for the "New York For All" legislation that would prohibit all formal and informal collusion with ICE.
- Criticizing the proposal, Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman argues it restricts necessary coordination and makes New Yorkers "more vulnerable to violence," framing the measure as a threat to public safety.
- Lawmakers are weighing whether to incorporate these immigration restrictions into must-pass legislation, as the state budget is now more than two weeks late and Deputy Senate Majority Leader Mike Gianaris anticipates "significant progress" next week.
