 STATE OF NEW YORK

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 14, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. E. BROWN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Codes

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to granting federal immi-
 gration enforcement powers to local law enforcement agencies in New
 York state

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "New York state immigration enforcement act of 2025".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that:
 4 1. Criminal activity committed by illegal immigrants, especially those
 5 with a history of violent or gang-related offenses, poses a significant
 6 threat to public safety in New York state communities.
 7 2. Local law enforcement agencies have an essential role in ensuring
 8 the safety of all residents, and their capacity to cooperate with feder-
 9 al authorities to enforce immigration law strengthens public safety.
 10 3. Federal authorities, specifically United States Immigration and
 11 Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), offer an opportunity to local law enforce-
 12 ment to assist in the identification, arrest, and deportation of crimi-
 13 nal illegal immigrants.
 14 4. Nassau County has recently entered into an agreement with ICE under
 15 the 287(g) program, and this approach has proven effective in addressing
 16 the safety concerns associated with illegal immigration and crime.
 17 5. It is in the best interest of New York state to extend this model
 18 statewide to enhance local law enforcement's ability to combat criminal
 19 activity by individuals residing unlawfully in the United States.
 20 § 3. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 837-y to
 21 read as follows:
 22 § 837-y. Cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agency. 1.
 23 For the purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the
 24 following meanings:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
