Mandates state-funded legal representation for unaccompanied minors in federal immigration proceedings, creates immigration services liaisons to connect minors with supports, and requires authorized agencies to notify counsel before cooperating with federal immigration requests or interviews, while,
An unaccompanied minor, as defined in section two of this chapter, or minor in the custody of the federal office of refugee resettlement while in the care of an authorized agency, as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision ten of section three hundred seventy-one of this article, who is present in this state and against whom an immigration proceeding may be or has been commenced shall be entitled to representation by counsel through the completion of such proceeding, including appeals and/or obtaining status and other related assistance, pursuant to section ninety-four-d of the executive law
Provides state-funded health, behavioral, legal, educational, employment, and language services to unaccompanied minors with no lawful immigration status, explicitly stating such supports shall not be deemed public benefits affecting immigration status under federal law.
Such support and services shall not be deemed public benefits that would affect an unaccompanied minor's immigration status under 8 USC 1182, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses immigration-enforcement by limiting cooperation with federal authorities (detainer notifications, counsel requirements for interviews), providing state-funded legal representation and services to unaccompanied minors in immigration proceedings, and shielding those services from counting as public benefits that could trigger federal immigration consequences. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
