NEW: IDP responds to @governor.ny.gov's proposal enabling law enforcement to use "probably cause" as a criteria for turning immigrant NYers over to ICE.

TL;DR This proposal would incentivize and exacerbate racial profiling in arrests and likely increase unlawful arrests.

BREAKING: SB 1095, "Expose Data Deportation Centers," by @senatorsrp.bsky.social just PASSED out of the CA Senate's Privacy Committee!

We're proud to co-sponsor this bill, the first-EVER in CA to seek transparency and accountability from secretive, shadowy entities known as “Fusion Centers.” 1/

Drive-by Detention: 800 Swept Up in 'Collateral' ICE arrests One in four ICE arrests were of people who weren’t targeted, and three quarters of targeted arrests involved people with no criminal convictions or pending charges.

"You would think that the bare minimum that our state could do is pass the New York for All act that would prohibit the collusion of local law enforcement, which is also racially profiling people for the purpose of handing them over to ICE around the state"

Tell your reps to pass #NY4All now!

In sum, New York For All does not undermine accountability - it supports it. Without it, survivors will continue to be failed by the system that claims to serve them. And New Yorkers will be made less safe as a result. At its core, New York for All is about community safety for all. Pass #NY4All!

Protect survivors and pass New York for All now “I am afraid.” It is a phrase I have heard in more languages than I can count. Tengo miedo. J’ai peur.

For immigrant NYers there's a second layer of fear: that their attempt to find safety could lead to permanent exile from the only place they call home. #NY4All would make strides to ensure safe reporting of violence, access to critical healing services, accountability for harms they’ve faced.

Opinion: We can protect our immigrant neighbors. What are we waiting for? The New York for All Act is the most comprehensive solution on the table to fight back against the federal deportation machine.

"ICE’s presence in legal proceedings undermines due process, upends the presumption of innocence for pple charged with crimes + erodes faith in basic democratic institutions. NYS Legislature has the power to protect NYers. The question is whether it will." Pass #NY4All! https://bit.ly/3NFIR0x

Mr. Alam's death was a horrible tragedy.

WHY did Border Patrol improperly pick him up in the first place? Because the Sheriff called them.

The New York for All Act would've PREVENTED this but the governor is refusing to stop this from happening again.

Shame on you, @governor.ny.gov. Pass #NY4All

Lawmakers want Hochul to use clemency power to protect immigrants The Clemency Justice Act would make applying for executive clemency easier and more transparent.

“[Clemency] falls into a black hole sometimes…many don't know what's happening, if it’s really being considered, where it is in the process or whether you'll ever hear anything back” For noncitizens clemency can also mean the difference btwn returning to family or facing deportation after a sentence

“It’s not hard for elected leaders to point their fingers at ICE and say, ‘This is unacceptable,’ and they’re right. But we're pointing our fingers at local leaders and saying, ‘What your responsibility is, is to make sure that the city and state are not enabling this further.” - IDP Exec Director

State Legislature Proposes Major Boost to Immigrant Legal Services The governor and legislature are negotiating over immigration legislation outside of the budget process.

...the delay is frustrating some advocates who see NY for All as the most urgent political battle around immigration.
“We’ve heard time and time again from the legislature that they want to do something. That should be the most immediate concern.”- Linda Flor Brito, IDP
