NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D) Takes on ICE

The Empire State's first female governor, Kathy Hochul (D), signed into law a set of sweeping protections for immigrant New Yorkers, including a ban on law enforcement officers wearing masks and a measure barring local police statewide from enforcing civil immigration laws. One law also bars ICE agents from entering so-called "sensitive locations," such as churches, schools, and polling places; another law allows individuals to sue ICE for alleged constitutional violations.

NYSP = 5,110 personnel; 1,000 in NYSP Bureau of Criminal Investigation

NYS Attorney-General Letitia James has hundreds of detectives working in her agency, including the OSI which investigates police officer misconduct.

Incumbent Kathy Hochul (D) has a 15-point lead over right-wing MAGA AIPAC dead-ender Bruce Blakeman (R) in the race for NYS governor.
