A new report from @nysfocus details how New York State Police are collaborating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the banner of “public safety,” raising urgent questions about transparency and accountability. nysfocus.com/2026/02/11/sta…

Hochul’s current language would provide a legal shield for federal agents that undermines accountability and betrays the intent of expanding civil rights protections in New York. amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/02/1…

Kathy Hochul’s proposed budget would create a new state pathway to sue federal officials while simultaneously codifying qualified immunity into New York law for the first time. #endqiny

#AlexReinart Professor of Litigation & Advocacy at @CardozoLaw made clear that the Governor’s proposed budget language creates the appearance of accountability while preserving the very legal shield that has denied families justice for decades.

NYS @SenatorRJackson urging @GovKathyHochul and state legislators to reject any immigration framework that writes qualified immunity into New York law or weakens the New York for All Act.

Thank you @nycpa 🙏🏾

Kevin Jason of the @naacp_ldf made clear that the Governor’s budget proposal creates the illusion of accountability while writing qualified immunity into New York law for the first time.

We agree with the Governor that New Yorkers should be able to sue ICE for their abuse of power. Yet her proposal to enable this has a fatal flaw that sets New Yorkers up to lose. Learn about the @endqiny coalition's demands to reject Qualified Immunity: cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/02…

New Yorkers deserve a law that actually lets people sue when they are harmed, not one that protects officials from consequences. If Albany is serious about justice, the bill must open the courthouse doors, not quietly close them. cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/02…

@SenMarkey @AyannaPressley @RepDanGoldman @RepSwalwell If you can sue but you can't win, that's not accountability. That's theater. 70+ civil rights organizations are calling on Governor Hochul and Senator Myrie to fix the bill. Eliminate qualified immunity.

🚨 Governor Hochul and Senator Myrie want to let New Yorkers sue ICE. We share their goal of holding ICE accountable. But their bill has a fatal flaw: it guarantees ICE will win. Here's why. 🧵 (1/8)
