Kathy Hochul is getting pulled even further to the left on New York\u2019s sanctuary policies \u2013 now saying she supports banning nearly all cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul, who proposed a slate of anti-ICE measures at the start of this year, on Thursday unveiled several new restrictions that she wants to put into state law as part of the ongoing budget negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to have more protections in place that I think are long overdue. So I\u2019m anxious to get this done,\u201d she told reporters at a quickly assembled press event in Albany Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Among the newly announced measures was a ban on police cooperating with federal immigration enforcement agents \u2014 unless it involves a criminal conviction or cops have \u201cprobable cause\u201d to suspect someone of a misdemeanor or felony offense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLocal cops should be focused on local crimes, keeping our streets safe \u2026 not doing ICE\u2019s job,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul also wants to ban US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from wearing masks, though it\u2019s unclear how the state would be able to enforce such a mandate. The proposed legislation would make it a misdemeanor for an ICE agent to wear a mask.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>And it would expand the list of public areas where ICE is prohibited from operating without a judicial warrant, to include virtually any public land like parks, shelters and \u201chousing accommodations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hochul also said that ICE agents, for example, wouldn\u2019t be allowed to operate alongside a local police DWI checkpoint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re talking about basically separating out civil infractions, vehicle and traffic law, for example, and other areas that they\u2019ve been using as ruses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s sometimes ICE officers, are at a DWI stop, are at a traffic stop. Like why are they there? Explain to me why they\u2019re there,\u201d she questioned.<\/p>\n<p>The new policy would also create an overarching ban on any public employee using state resources, including their working hours, to aid federal immigration authorities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>It would be a misdemeanor for ICE to wear masks in New York and for local law enforcement to communicate with ICE in most cases, under an expanded sanctuary state proposal being backed by Hochul. <span class=\"credit\">Aristide Economopoulos<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It means New York would essentially have a blanket sanctuary state law on its books. Hochul, during her tenure, has continued to extend an executive order signed in 2018 by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo barring state employees and law enforcement from helping immigration authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic incumbent is now expanding her initial anti-ICE proposal unveiled in January following talks with the legislature coinciding with her $263 billion spending and policy plan, which was due April 1.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the year Hochul, rolled out a pitch to give New Yorker\u2019s the ability to sue federal agents in state courts for legal violations. <\/p>\n<p>She also said she wanted to ban local governments from signing formal agreements with ICE to deputize their officers \u2014 like the one inked by her Republican gubernatorial opponent Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive.<\/p>\n<p>Just last year, Hochul pained herself to push back on the notion that New York was a sanctuary state while getting grilled on illegal immigration by a House of Representatives panel in Washington.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Gov. Kathy Hochul is on board with implementing a sanctuary state policy into New York state law.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cFALSE CLAIM: New York is a sanctuary state that hinders the ability of federal law enforcement to arrest and remove violent criminals from its streets,\u201d her office wrote in a memo ahead of the testimony.<\/p>\n<p>Legislative leaders like Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester) have been demanding a deal based on the most sweeping sanctuary proposal bouncing around Albany \u2013 the so-called New York 4 All Act.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul scheduled her announcement as lawmakers were huddled in closed-door conferences discussing the new immigration policy Thursday afternoon, according to sources familiar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor\u2019s absolutely moved on certain things,\u201d Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) told reporters later.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Legislative leaders like Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) have been pushing Hochul to embrace legislation making it harder for ICE to operate in New York. <span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOne of the toughest places for us to land is on is the unmonitored, unregulated ability for local law enforcement to reach out to ICE, even in spite of the fact that it could be a case that a [district attorney] wants to look at,\u201d Heastie said.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged that the legislature wants even tougher restrictions on when law enforcement can contact ICE, with some far-left pols claiming the \u201cprobable cause\u201d requirement pitched by Hochul would lead to racial profiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllowing cops to decide if they will collude with ICE on this basis is giving them carte blanche to racially profile NYers,\u201d Democratic Socialist Assemblymember Emily Gallagher (D-Brooklyn) posted on X.<\/p>\n<p>Senate lawmakers also expressed similar concerns behind closed doors, according to sources.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul said the talks were \u201cstill evolving\u201d and could even drop from the budget deal altogether.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
