NYC Lawmakers Fight Back Against Federal Immigration Activities
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Local lawmakers in New York City are pushing back against federal immigration activities, introducing new bills to strengthen sanctuary protections. These measures aim to enforce existing laws, require clear signage, regulate E-Verify, and prevent federal immigration offices from operating on city jail property. The Deportation Data Project reveals that only a quarter of immigrants detained have criminal records, prompting council members to assert that federal laws are violating New York Citys sanctuary city laws. Meanwhile, members of Congress are also working to limit ICE enforcement, focusing on areas around federal court buildings and filing a lawsuit for more transparency inside holding areas.
