A deadline under a new law outlawing New York state and local police from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents takes effect Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul unveiled the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act<\/a> in January and signed it in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It bans local government agencies from maintaining agreements with ICE for civil enforcement. It also prohibits ICE agents from using local detention centers for civil enforcement, including mass raids.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime has been committed,” Hochul said. “But on civil immigration matters, ICE is on their own.”<\/p>\n

In July, state officials sent letters<\/a> to 12 local law enforcement agencies that have agreements with ICE. The letters stated that they must unwind the agreements by Aug. 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two of the agencies informed were the Nassau County Police Department<\/a>\u00a0and the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office on Long Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is running for governor, has been adamant about his success in lowering crime by working with ICE.<\/p>\n

“We got rid of 2,000 illegal migrants with criminal records in Nassau County without raiding a church, a school, a daycare center, a hospital, because we cooperated with ICE,” he previously said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Hochul said the law will help protect immigrants from aggressive enforcement while they pursue asylum claims.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She is expected to speak about implementing the law during a news conference at 10 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
