Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani cheered the action.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has thrown her support behind a new proposal that if enacted would outlaw formal agreements between New York localities and Immigration and Customs Enforcement that allow for local police to be deputized as ICE agents.
While flanked by law enforcement on Friday at a press conference, Hochul proposed outlawing the formal agreements known as 287(g) agreements, which allow for local New York police departments to work with ICE by allowing local officers to be deputized along with ICE for immigration enforcement.
