The New York Immigration Coalition emphasizes that every immigrant in New York has access to vital public services and legal protections, irrespective of their immigration status, especially amidst impending changes in immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
New Yorkers are reminded that they can assert their rights if approached by ICE or Border Patrol. Key rights include remaining silent, recording interactions, and accessing services in their native languages.
This legal guidance is particularly crucial as ICE may broaden its focus to include individuals with legal status, marking a notable shift in enforcement policies.
It's highlighted that every child in New York has an unequivocal right to free public education and resources to assist them in learning English, reinforcing the inclusivity of the city's policies.
