New York to Limit Cooperation with Federal Immigration Agents Amid Policy Changes

New York to Limit Cooperation with Federal Immigration Agents Amid Policy Changes

New York State is set to implement a new immigration protection package aimed at reducing cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents. This initiative, backed by Governor Kathy Hochul, is part of the final state budget language expected to be approved by lawmakers. The package seeks to impose new restrictions on immigration enforcement by federal agencies within the state. A key component of the plan is the limitation of agreements under the 287(g) provision, which allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deputize local officers to enforce federal immigration laws. The move comes in response to increased federal immigration activity in New York, including numerous arrests in New York City and the presence of ICE agents at federal courthouses. The package also includes measures to protect sensitive locations such as schools and hospitals from being used as extensions of federal immigration enforcement.
