This is an extraordinary piece of legislation. It shows our sensitivity and desire to do something about it, instead of just talking about it or making things worse the way they are in Washington.
Kathy Hochul
The Public Record
Kathy Hochul is the 57th Governor of New York, having assumed office on August 24, 2021. She is the first female governor of the state. Prior to her governorship, Hochul served as the Lieutenant Governor of New York from January 1, 2015, until she became governor. Throughout her political career, she has focused on issues such as economic development, women's rights, and public safety.
What I have identified is the fact that when our local police are doing something other than focus on local crimes, they're not keeping the communities they're sworn to protect safe.
We're also saying there is no reason why ICE agents need to have a mask on. Other federal agents do not.
But Donald Trump said when he ran for office, 'I'm going to go after the worst of the worst, the baddest of the bad,' and people believed him.
I'm fighting for New Yorkers, I'm putting them first...Of course I'm going to be critical. Because there's so many things that are so wrong with what [Trump's] doing to our country and our state.
Next, we are also making sure that people have a constitutional right to go to court if the federal government ICE agents have violated their rights.
Today, I met with New Yorkers who have been impacted by ICE’s cruel and dangerous actions. This overreach is unacceptable and will never be tolerated in this state.
Con nuevas medidas de control para ICE, hemos establecido un plan para proteger a nuestros vecinos, nuestras comunidades y los derechos constitucionales de todos los neoyorquinos.
When you think about the stress that New Yorkers are under with the high cost of everything, and Donald Trump promised lower prices day one, and we're still waiting for that.
New York’s growers are second to none and many have taken a significant hit, with some reporting upwards of a 100 percent loss of their crop and millions in economic loss.
Just as you hear from me on what we're intending to do in a few moments is to say that we will not be allowing civil immigration to occur with ICE agents in sensitive locations unless you have a court order or warrant for arrest.
My job is to deliver the best Budget I can for New Yorkers. New Yorkers are struggling, they're looking to us for the leadership that they're not getting out of Washington.
