GOP opponents pledge to maintain ICE cooperation despite Local Cops, Local Crimes Act
Republican critics argue that the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act undermines public safety. They claim it prevents local police from assisting federal immigration agents. The New York Post characterized the measure as an attack on public safety. It argued the law prevents law enforcement from removing dangerous individuals. Opponents on social media claimed the governor is shielding criminal illegal aliens rather than protecting citizens. Hochul's Republican challenger stated they would not wind down existing ICE agreements if elected. This stance directly opposes the legislation signed by Hochul that restricts such cooperation. The Trump administration has already launched a legal challenge against the measure.
