According to the article, Hochul's dodging the question of whether merely being undocumented means "criminal." If this bothers you, call her office and tell her NOT to help ICE deport undocumented New Yorkers. 518-474-8390.

Kathy Hochul is a coward. She will not protect New Yorkers. Neither will corrupt Mayor Adams, who needs a federal pardon from Trump. And the NYPD is a MAGA army waiting to strike. No one will defend New Yorkers. Our "leaders" will abandon us to Trump’s ICE/CBP bloodbath.
I don’t think most people in America realize how easy it is to be charged and convicted of a crime if the government benefits from defining you as a criminal. Immigrants won’t be the only ones to learn this the hard way.
The article also mentions the Access to Representation Act which would "create a right to representation in immigration court." I called State Rep Cruz's office, and they told me Cruz WILL reintroduce this bill. Please call your D state reps and ask them to cosponsor it! https://nyassembly.gov/mem/search/
Cruz's office ALSO said they'll push hard during the budgeting process to get more funds for the Office of New Americans, which helps get representation for those in immigration court. When you call your state reps, please tell them to join Cruz and push for this funding! https://nyassembly.gov/mem/search/
Just called my NY state rep to ask them to support Rep. Cruz's Access to Representation Act AND to support more funding for the Office of New Americans in the budgeting process. 'Cause when I suggest folks do something, you bet I'm doing it, too! :-) #DidThisToday
And I called Hochul to tell her to support the Access to Representation Act AND to support for funding for the Office of New Americans to get representation for folks in immigration court AND to NOT cooperate with ICE to deport undocumented immigrants. Got the machine: 518-474-8390. #DidThisToday
never trust anyone whose SYBILLINE BOOKS ARE THE LATEST POLL NUMBERS...they didn't slash my salary at war inc. this is what happens when political diatribes and homilies are interrupted for station identification, and beer and antacid commercials...
She got some praise for making a far-too-vague statement after the election that failed to specify who counted as a “New Yorker”. I didn’t understand why anybody gave her the time of day on that bullshit. This is entirely unsurprising.
New York Democrats need to do some serious soul searching. The state continues to lurch towards becoming red and clowns like Hochul and Adams are helping.
Seems like a country wide issue for Democrats. They think the election was their cue to abandon the base and pull to the right. I have no hope in them.
