Mandates state-funded legal representation, supports, and services for unaccompanied minors in federal immigration proceedings, while requiring notification and limiting compliance with federal detainers or interview requests, reducing state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
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, legal, educational, and other supports to unaccompanied minors with no lawful immigration status, explicitly stating such services 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 provides state services, legal representation in immigration proceedings, and limits on cooperation with federal detainers for unaccompanied minors lacking lawful status, which restricts the scope of state/local immigration enforcement. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
