How Albany can stand with immigrant communities

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : New York can affirm our commitment to dignity and opportunity for all by passing the New York for All Act and the Access to Representation Act.
56% : The Access to Representation Act would guarantee immigrants facing the court system -- including children separated from their families -- don't have to go through it alone.
50% : By drawing a clear line between local services and federal immigration enforcement, this bill would help all New Yorkers feel safe calling law enforcement when they are victims of a crime or accessing health care and other essential services without the threat of arrest and deportation.
43% : We will suffer irreparable harm without instituting legal protections for all our neighbors regardless of where they were born.
42% : As Donald Trump prepares for a return to the White House, immigrants are bracing for his promised mass deportations and family separations to become real.
41% : It would ensure that state and local resources are not weaponized to advance federal immigration enforcement, which Trump has promised will rely on military intervention.
40% : In practice, NY4All prohibits local law enforcement and other agencies from colluding with federal immigration authorities without a judicial warrant, as many jurisdictions across the country already do.
26% : Trump and Homan's goals are antithetical to New York and American values.
