Council to consider nonbinding support for 'New York for All' state bill
Summary
Staff presented a draft nonbinding resolution expressing the city's support for the 'New York for All' Act, which would limit municipal cooperation with federal immigration enforcement absent judicial orders; the council discussed who would receive the letter and confirmed it would be forwarded to state legislators and the governor.
City Attorney Ed (speaker 14) presented a proposed resolution for the council to express support for the "New York for All" Act, draft state legislation that would prohibit municipal cooperation with federal immigration authorities in many circumstances, except where a court order or judicial warrant compels compliance. Ed noted that the resolution would be nonbinding and intended to convey the city's support to state legislators and to the governor's office once the legislature acts.
Council members asked clarifying questions about who would receive the letter and whether it was merely an expression of support rather than a change to city policy. Staff confirmed it is an expression of support to be forwarded to the legislature and governor as the city's position on the proposed state legislation.
