New York · 2025-2026 General Assembly
A08995Enacts the "facial identification and transparency in immigration enforcement act"; requires federal immigration enforcement agents to identify themselves as such when conducting enforcement activities.
Direction
Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Requires federal immigration agents to visibly display badges, not cover faces, and identify themselves on request during enforcement in NY, with state reporting, AG enforcement, and exclusion of non-compliant evidence in state courts, so less effective immigration enforcement.
No agent, officer, or contractor acting on behalf of United States immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) or any other federal immigration enforcement agency shall conduct any enforcement activity within the state of New York unless such agent, officer, or contractor: (a) clearly displays a valid and current federal identification badge and credentials which are visible to the individual or individuals subject to enforcement;
Imposes state requirements on federal immigration enforcement identification and evidence admissibility in state proceedings, limiting cooperation and effectiveness of federal actions.
Any evidence obtained during an enforcement action by a federal immigration enforcement agent who fails to comply with section ninety-four-c of the executive law shall be presumptively inadmissible in any criminal proceeding within New York state courts.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds state-law barriers and identification mandates specifically targeting federal immigration enforcement activities by ICE and similar agencies, plus exclusionary rules for evidence in state courts, which limits the scope and effectiveness of such enforcement.
