Gov. Kathy Hochul wants lawmakers to move fast on immigration limits, signaling she may bundle several proposals into one sweeping bill, according to the Times Union. She framed the push as urgent, saying recent federal enforcement actions have left communities shaken.
Hochul’s plan would block local police from partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement while still allowing cooperation in violent crime cases. She also hinted at using state reviews to slow or stop a proposed federal immigrant processing site in Orange County.
The governor says personal stories from families affected by detentions are driving the timeline, as Democrats return to Albany ready to negotiate.
