BloombergNew York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation that bars masked ICE agents from operating in the state and restricts federal immigration enforcement at certain sensitive locations like schools and churches. The new law prohibits federal agents from wearing masks while conducting immigration enforcement activities within New York.
It also designates schools, churches, and additional locations as protected sites where enforcement actions face new limits.
State officials said the provisions aim to increase transparency during federal operations and shield designated community spaces from routine enforcement activity.
