Molitor: Make eligible all the offenses for the bail of non-citizens News, sports, jobs

The assembly Andrew Molitor is in the debate on the State Sanctuary Status, with a new bill that would make all the crimes eligible for the bail that is not a citizen.

Molitor introduced his draft law (A.7565) earlier this week in the assembly. The Republican of Westfield proposes to amend the law of criminal procedure of the state and the criminal law to allow the application of the law in New York to arrest, hold and hold non-citizens who have been arrested for crimes or crimes. It also reinstals the maximum punishment for offenses to one year, which makes these offenses eligible.

“New York is a” self-professional sanctuary state “, which means it does not recognize the federal law of immigration. Non-citizens from countries around the world come to New York, after having illegally entered the United States and begin to receive benefits, including free housing, public assistance benefits, free cash assistance and free schooling, “wrote Molitor in his legislative justification. deportation of the laws, regulations and policies of the state. ”

Recent polls AP-Norc showed that immigration remains a force for President Donald Trump, but managing his tariffs receives more negative feedbacks. About half of US adults approve Trump’s immigration approach, the survey shows, but only about 4 out of 10 have a positive vision of how they deal with the economy and commercial negotiations. AP reported this week the survey indicates that many Americans are still on board with Trump’s efforts to expand deportations and restrict immigration.

Molitor holds a similar view.

“The federal government, which received a widespread public support at the general elections of 2024, began to deport non-citizens. The federal government began to deport non-citizens who committed additional crimes while they were illegally; some crimes committed were particularly attractive,” he wrote. “The basic purpose of the Government is to keep their citizens safe. This draft law aims to fulfill this basic purpose with a common sense approach, allowing the law and the courts to cooperate with federal immigration officials.”

In recent weeks, Trump’s administration has been closed in a court fight for deporting Venezuelian immigrants to El Salvador in accordance with a 18th-century war law, made movements for the deportation of foreign students who took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations to the colleagues. Voters who said that immigration was their most important problem in November last year, favored more restrictive policies, according to AP Votecast, an extended poll on over 120,000 voters. The problem was also a higher priority for Americans who were heading in 2025 than the previous year.

Immigration and customs execution agents worked in the northern part of Chautauqua county, immigration actions took place in January and again in March. In January, the Hoch administration launched a list that contains the types of deportation cases in which the state law enforcement can be willing to cooperate with federal immigration officials. This list includes situations in which a person is suspected of crossing the border without stopping in an official entry port or re -entering the country after being deported, according to the center market, as well as when the immigration status of a person is “relevant to investigating an offense” committed in the state or if the person is suspected of a “multinational activity”.

But, the hoch was also a critic for the county sheriff who signed agreements to work with ice agents, including the sheriff’s offices in Broome and Nassau counties.

“While some may ask: Why is New York a” sanctuary state? “The basic intention of this draft law asks a simpler question: Why does New York want non-citizens who committed crimes in New York to stay here? ”Molitor asked in his legislative justification.
