New York · 2025-2026 General Assembly
A06169Criminalizes the act of engaging in any scheme, plan or pattern to transport an undocumented immigrant from any location outside of New York state to a location within New York state with the intent of dropping such person off in any municipality or federal property located wholly within New York state boundaries or to transport an undocumented immigrant from any location within New York state to another location within New York state with the intent of dropping such person off in any municipality or federal property located wholly within New York state boundaries.
Creates a new state felony for transporting undocumented immigrants with intent to drop them off in municipalities or federal property in NY, so more state immigration enforcement via new crimes.
A person is guilty of migrant trafficking if such person engages in any scheme, plan or pattern to transport an undocumented immigrant from: (a) any location outside of New York state to a location within New York state with the intent of dropping such person off in any munici-pality or federal property located wholly within New York state bounda-ries; or (b) any location within New York state to another location within New York state with the intent of dropping such person off in any munici-pality or federal property located wholly within New York state bounda-ries.
Establishes the offense of migrant trafficking as a class C felony targeting transport of undocumented immigrants into or within NY, so more state immigration enforcement.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new state crime specifically for transporting undocumented immigrants with intent to drop them off in NY municipalities or federal property, expanding state immigration enforcement through criminal penalties. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
