New York · 2025-2026 General Assembly
A08994Requires police and peace officers receive a lawful order before assisting with immigration enforcement; requires federal agents identify themselves at the request of public officers, police officers or peace officers; establishes penalties for federal agents who fail to identify themselves.
Bars police and peace officers from honoring any directive or request to enforce immigration law unless it is contained in a lawful order from a judge, so less immigration enforcement by state or local government.
No police officer or peace officer shall honor any directive or request concerning the enforcement of immigration law, unless contained in a lawful order issued by an immigration judge, a United States magistrate judge or a district court judge.

Bars police and peace officers from honoring any directive or request to enforce immigration law unless it is contained in a lawful order from a judge, so less immigration enforcement by state or local government.
No police officer or peace officer shall honor any directive or request concerning the enforcement of immigration law, unless contained in a lawful order issued by an immigration judge, a United States magistrate judge or a district court judge.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new article to the criminal procedure law that prohibits state and local police and peace officers from assisting with federal immigration enforcement unless they receive a lawful judicial order, and requires federal agents to show identification on demand with penalties for noncompliance. This limits cooperation with federal immigration authorities and expands sanctuary-like policies.
