Local Cops Local Crimes Act: How NY’s Ban on ICE Cooperation Impacts Your Safety and Taxes
Governor Kathy Hochul has officially introduced the ‘Local Cops, Local Crimes Act,’ a legislative bombshell aimed at severing the ties between New York’s local law enforcement and federal ICE agents. By voiding all 287(g) agreements, the act seeks to ensure that local tax dollars and police resources stay focused on neighborhood safety rather than civil immigration enforcement. But with critics calling it a threat to public safety and advocates hailing it as a win for civil rights, the stakes for New Yorkers have never been higher. Read on to discover how this law could change your local police force and what it means for the future of New York’s security.
