flag Binghamton advocates demand passage of bills to end local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement amid rising detentions.

flag Advocates in Binghamton rallied on Thursday to push New York lawmakers to pass the New York for All Act and the Dignity Not Detention Act, which would end state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. flag The bills aim to block public funds from aiding ICE, ban immigration detention in county jails, and protect immigrant rights, especially amid rising detentions at Broome County jail. flag Organizers, including faith leaders and farmworkers, criticized Governor Hochul’s proposed legislation as insufficient, citing ongoing federal enforcement and loopholes allowing informal data sharing. flag The measures have bipartisan support in the state legislature but remain in early committee stages, with activists urging public pressure to secure passage.
