US EditionN.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul blasts ICE in push to ban local police cooperation
Gov. Hochul’s proposed bill would void 287(g) agreements, ending local police deputization by ICE and affecting 14 agencies in nine counties, aiming to limit federal immigration enforcement roles.
- Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act to bar local police from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on civil immigration enforcement.
- Responding to recent federal actions, Gov. Kathy Hochul said the proposal reacts to Minneapolis federal ICE operations this month and seeks to add private homes and other sensitive locations requiring judicial warrants.
- Despite the ban on civil enforcement, the legislation preserves cooperation on federal criminal investigations while 14 New York law enforcement agencies across nine counties hold 287 agreements.
- Republican county executives, notably Bruce Blakeman, pushed back Friday, pledging to keep federal partnerships as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said, `Governor Hochul would make New Yorkers less safe as a direct result of this policy`.
- State officials say the law is intended to strengthen public safety, protect civil liberties, and the proposal includes a state right to sue federal officers, building on Hochul's State of the State agenda.
