Bill de Blasio Signs Law Limiting Cooperation With Immigration Detainers

Bill de Blasio Signs Law Limiting Cooperation With Immigration Detainers | New York Observer: "Mayor Bill de Blasio signed legislation to sharply limit the city’s cooperation with detainers issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement—and to boot that federal agency from Rikers Island.
“What these bills do is they protect the rights of undocumented immigrants, of visa holders, and legal permanent residents alike, all of whom have suffered under the previous approach, and ultimately prevent families from being torn apart,” Mr. de Blasio said at a Queens press conference."
