Hochul endorses a New York bill allowing residents to sue ICE agents for constitutional rights violations.
The measure would let New Yorkers sue in state courts if rights are violated, Hochul says.
The bill cites private lawsuits under Title 42, Section 1983, used to challenge officials for rights violations.
Other states, including California and New Jersey, already allow similar private lawsuits against federal officials.
Hochul proposed guardrails, including judicial warrants for ICE raids in sensitive locations.
New York will not use state resources to aid federal raids on non-serious-crime suspects, Hochul says.
The proposal follows related debates sparked by ICE-involved incidents in Minneapolis.
Hochul’s proposal underscores accountability while asserting enforcement remains essential.
The bill is part of broader immigration policy debates at the state level.
Lasher, a sponsor, said the bill would empower citizens to hold federal officials accountable.
