thebalanced.newsNew York Proposes Expanded Restrictions on ICE Amid Federal Warnings
New York Governor Kathy Hochul supports new proposals to limit local cooperation with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), despite warnings from President Trump's border czar about increasing federal immigration agents. The measures aim to bar local law enforcement from partnering with ICE, restrict ICE access to sensitive sites without warrants, ban mask-wearing by law enforcement on duty, and allow lawsuits against ICE officers. Hochul emphasized continued cooperation against violent criminals while addressing concerns over immigration enforcement excesses.
