""It's, I think, an essential bill to protect New Yorkers, particularly frontline workers, who consistently interact with (the) NYPD in the streets, in this case, like deliveristas, who have been until recently, the main target of NYPD criminal enforcement.""
""Anything that fails to prohibit this collaboration from continuing would fail a lot of immigrant New Yorkers. It would be, in my opinion, a failure to do something that actually is in the interest of public safety.""
State lawmakers are advocating for the New York For All Act to protect immigrant delivery workers from law enforcement interactions that could lead to deportation. Ligia Guallpa emphasizes the importance of this bill for frontline workers, particularly deliveristas, who have faced criminal enforcement from the NYPD. The act aims to prevent collusion between state and local officials and immigration enforcement, addressing the risks posed by federal deportation policies. Lawmakers believe that failing to prohibit such collaboration would jeopardize the safety and rights of immigrant New Yorkers.
