There\u2019s a push to return U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in New York state to refocus solely on criminal threats.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think what we\u2019ve seen recently is a failure in leadership at the federal level,\u201d said state Sen. Jake Ashby (R-District 43). \u201cI would hope that a bill like this would prompt change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashby introduced a bill that includes banning ICE agents from sensitive places, including hospitals, places of worship and schools. It would also mandate coordination between local law enforcement and ICE agents on warrantless immigration enforcement raids. The bill doesn\u2019t ban coordination in the execution of judicial warrants during a legitimate state or federal criminal investigation.<\/p>\n
Ashby is pushing for this measure to take effect immediately and expire in one year to give federal lawmakers time to come up with a bipartisan immigration reform.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have announced, effective immediately, we\u2019ll draw down 700 people,” President Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The proposal comes as the Trump administration is drawing down immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota. It\u2019s after weeks of soaring tensions that led to two U.S. citizens being shot and killed by agents on camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmerican citizens are being murdered on our streets by government agents,\u201d said state Sen. Michelle Hinchey (D-District 41). \u201cThis is not about civil immigration. This is not about public safety. This is about absolute and complete control meant to terrorize us into submission.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashby\u2019s bill follows last week\u2019s call from Senate Democrats for Republicans to join their joint national statement demanding that immigration officers leave Minnesota immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone is recognizing that what\u2019s the status quo right now undermines public safety and New York needs to do something,\u201d said Dave Basnet, senior manager of immigrant rights policy at the New York Immigration Coalition.<\/p>\n
Basney is calling for the passage of the New York for All Act, which prohibits and regulates the discovery and disclosure of a person\u2019s immigration status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a push to return U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in New York state to refocus solely…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[109,116,2301,9,11,10,49,51,50,12,5304,112,87,200],"class_list":["post-124707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-app-local-state-politics","tag-app-ny-state-of-politics","tag-immigration","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-news","tag-nicole-neuman","tag-ny-state-of-politics","tag-politics","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
