Immigrant-rights advocates rallied at the New York state Capitol, expressing frustration over the failure of Democrats to support the New York For All Act, which aims to restrict local cooperation with ICE. With the legislative session coming to a close, Assemblymember Marcella Mitaynes criticized fellow Democrats for their inaction amidst escalating deportation efforts. Advocates lamented New York's position compared to other states like Illinois and Colorado that have enacted stronger sanctuary protections, highlighting the divisions within the Democratic Party on immigration issues.
"There seems to be some lack of political courage," she said.
"It was a tremendous missed opportunity that puts New York behind other Democrat-led states."
