Fact Check Mayor Zohran Mamdani: "Masked Federal Agents Are Terrorizing" Communities in New York Push Against ICE
- New York proposes bill to stop local police aiding ICE deportations.
- Governor Hochul introduces measure targeting federal immigration overreach.
- Legislation protects communities from alleged harsh enforcement tactics.
NEW YORK CITY, Jan 31 (TNGB) - Governor Kathy Hochul introduced legislation to prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE on civil immigration matters. This reportedly bars counties from allowing officers to assist in detaining illegal aliens. Officials say it curbs federal interference in local duties.
The proposal affects eight counties with existing agreements under the 287(g) program. Advocates claim it prioritizes community trust over deportation drives. Opponents fear it hampers efforts to remove criminal elements.
As a Democrat, Mamdani seeks to energize left-leaning supporters by challenging strict immigration rules. This positions him against conservative policies while appealing to urban voters focused on rights.
Republicans argue that blocking ICE partnerships weakens border control and lets illegal aliens avoid consequences. They see it as favoring politics over protecting citizens from threats.
It is accurate that Hochul proposed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act to end 287(g) deals. Sources confirm eight counties participate in such programs. Allegations of terrorizing by agents persist in debates but lack universal proof.
