Instead, we call on @governor.ny.gov to make a *real* commitment to protect New Yorkers and pass the New York for All Act #NY4All

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/
"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!
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.
Thanks for supporting our work! ❤️
We heard @govkathyhochul talked about her commitment to all New Yorkers, and we have some notes...
Pass #NY4All now! action.aclu.org/send-message/protect-new...
There's no business as usual while families and communities are being ripped apart. End the collusion now - pass the New York for All Act to protect immigrant New Yorkers. Tell your reps to act for #NY4All NOW: action.aclu.org/send-message/protect-new...
🚨 NEW w/@legaldefensefund.bsky.social: Tens of thousands of New Yorkers live with a daily fear they may be taken off the street, detained and deported by ICE. Elected leaders have the chance now to pass #NY4All in its original form to protect the rights of all the people who reside in the state 👇👇👇
Opinión con @legaldefensefund.bsky.social: Miles de neoyorquinos viven con el temor diario de ser arrestados, detenidos y deportados por ICE. La legislatura ahora tienen la oportunidad de aprobar #NY4All para proteger los derechos de todas las personas que viven en NY

"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
"Drawing clear and principled lines between our state and federal immigration enforcement is more important now than ever. It is also incumbent on the state to protect NYers’ 1st and 4th Amendment rights." What is the NYS Legislature waiting for? Pass #NY4All! https://bit.ly/3NFIR0x
Everyone deserves basic dignity, respect, and due process, so when we say we're fighting for New York for All, we mean EVERYONE. Take action and tell your legislator to pass the New York for All Act today: www.nyclu.org/resources/campaigns-acti...
No matter where we were born we all deserve basic dignity, respect, and due process. Local + state resources shouldn't be used to collude with ICE and fuel mass deportations! Tell your rep to pass New York for All Act NOW: www.nyclu.org/resources/campaigns-acti...
“[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
...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

ICE heavily relies on agencies of all kinds to fuel the deportation machine, but over the past decade they've increasingly relied on the police-to-deportation pipeline to do so. Read the growing list of reported cases of law enforcement collusion with #ICE in NY state: bit.ly/NY-ICEwatch

📢 A welcoming city doesn’t collude with ICE! Last week and this AM we joined @council.nyc.gov hearings to speak to Sanctuary Protections for Immigrant Communities and the accountability that NYC Trust Act would bring to protect NYers from the harms of city agency collusion with ICE #ICEOutNYC
