La propuesta presentada hoy por la gobernadora Hochul, que establece un marco para prohibir los acuerdos 287(g) en Nueva York, impedir que la policía estatal y local actúe como agentes federales y prohibir el uso de recursos o personal financiados con fondos públicos para llevar a cabo la aplicación de leyes federales de inmigración civil, es un paso importante en la dirección correcta. Agradecemos que la gobernadora Hochul reconozca que la ley estatal, tal como está ahora, no protege lo suficiente a todos los neoyorquinos.

Sin embargo, esta propuesta por sí sola no es suficiente. Sin una ley integral, los neoyorquinos inmigrantes siguen estando en riesgo. New York for All es un proyecto de ley integral que prohibiría, de forma clara y amplia, que funcionarios estatales y locales hagan cumplir las leyes federales de inmigración cuando no exista una orden judicial. Este es el momento de que la Legislatura asuma su responsabilidad y apruebe de inmediato esta legislación tan necesaria.

También es importante reconocer que los neoyorquinos inmigrantes que no tienen representación legal enfrentan un riesgo muy alto en el contexto actual. Por eso, pedimos a la Legislatura estatal y a la gobernadora que inviertan 175 millones de dólares en servicios legales y que aprueben las leyes Access to Representation y BUILD, para garantizar el derecho a un abogado a cada neoyorquino en la corte de inmigración y asegurar la estabilidad de los servicios legales.

Gracias, gobernadora Hochul, por reconocer la gravedad de la situación actual. Ahora es el momento de aprobar New York for All y de invertir de manera sostenible en los servicios legales de inmigración.

STATEMENT: The proposal today from Governor Hochul that outlines a framework to prohibit 287(g) agreements in New York, bar state and local police from acting as federal agents and bar the use of taxpayer-funded resources or personnel to carry out federal civil immigration enforcement is an important step forward. We appreciate that Governor Hochul recognizes that state law is not currently doing enough to protect all New Yorkers.

However, this proposal alone is not enough. Without a comprehensive bill, immigrant New Yorkers remain at risk. New York for All is a comprehensive bill that would broadly prohibit state and local officers from enforcing federal immigration laws in the absence of a judicial warrant. Now is the time for the Legislature to step up and immediately pass this critical piece of legislation.

We also need to recognize that immigrant New Yorkers who lack legal representation are deeply at risk in the current environment. We urge the State Legislature and the Governor to invest $175 million in legal services and pass the Access to Representation and BUILD Acts to guarantee the right to counsel to every New Yorker in immigration court and ensure the stability of legal services.

Thank you, Governor Hochul, for recognizing the urgency of this moment. Now is the time to pass New York for All and sustainably invest in immigration legal services.
