No sanctuary for ICE.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing renewed pressure ahead of Tuesday’s “State of the State” address to pass the pro-sanctuary “NY4All Act” — as she signals support for a new law allowing New Yorkers to sue federal agents.
The push to enshrine sanctuary policies comes from Democrats infuriated by ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis — and who sense Hochul wants to appease her left flank as she seeks re-election this year.
State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Scarsdale) buoyed their hopes last week by calling to pass NY4All, which would stop all police and state employees from working with immigration authorities.
“We have to do it as fast as we can,” said Michael Gianaris (D-Queens), the Senate’s deputy majority leader, who denounced ICE agents as “garbage human beings.”
ICE-bashing pols, including Gianaris, held a rally Monday in Albany to drum up support for NY4All — one day before Hochul’s big speech outlining her election-year agenda.
Hochul has refused to take a position on the bill, but will include support in her “State of the State” agenda for another piece of legislation making it easier for New Yorkers to sue immigration agents over alleged civil rights violations.
Other states — including California and New Jersey — passed similar laws, although Massachusetts and Maine ran into trouble when judges found the feds can claim “qualified immunity.”
Hochul’s support for the bill — and, so far, silence on “NY4All” — signifies the delicate balance she’s striking ahead of her “State of the States.”
The governor plans to make a unifying rallying call in the address, without alienating both moderates and the progressives she has been courting since backing Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s successful mayoral campaign in the Big Apple.

Nice guy.
Hochul is somewhere between kamala and aoc on the IQ scale....
Sounds insurrectionist.
“We have to do it as fast as we can,” said Michael Gianaris (D-Queens)
Hurry. The truth is getting out there and catching on.

Gianaris is terrible human.
Wonder How she can sleep at night!!!! Guess she will do anything for POWER!
It IS insurrectionist.
I really prefer living with good people...not a bunch of criminals....and just plain cruddy people.
Anti-ICE bills a no rules agenda for every criminal act the maggots wish to engage in.
You guys remember this?
U.S. Supreme Court says Texas can’t block federal agents from the border. The high court’s order effectively maintains long-running precedent that the federal government — not individual states — has authority to enforce border security.

Wonder what actual police think about this?
In Minnesota:
Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Statement: ‘FOP Stands with ICE’
“FOP stands with ICE.”
"The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of law enforcement across this country. Over the last month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them.
The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state and communities."
