New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James today announced that the new Office of Immigrant Trust (OIT) sent letters to the 12 local law enforcement agencies in New York that currently have 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), informing them that state law requires they unwind the agreements by August 25, 2026.
Created as part of a legislative package championed and signed by Governor Hochul on May 27, 2026, OIT is dedicated to enforcing New York laws that protect immigrant communities, strengthen public trust, and limit the use of state and local resources for federal civil immigration enforcement. As part of its duties, the OIT will receive complaints, provide guidance to state and local agencies, conduct investigations, and take legal action when necessary to ensure compliance with state law.
Any complaints will be sent to the OAG Social Justice Division of communists. Every illegal alien will file a complaint. Democrats in New York want to make sure that they keep all their illegal aliens, including criminals.
Nobody but illegal aliens and Democrats are above the law.
“Nobody is above the law. In New York, we will not tolerate the diversion of local resources for federal civil immigration enforcement at the expense of public safety. That is why we passed a commonsense set of laws standing up against federal overreach and ensuring that local law enforcement are not deputized by the highest funded law enforcement agency in the country,” said Governor Hochul. “My top priority is keeping New Yorkers safe. Ensuring our law enforcement remains focused on local crimes is essential to protecting our communities and maintaining public safety.”
New York is going to face some very serious problems. On Long Island, we have some very vicious illegal alien gangs.
The letters sent today notify the 12 local New York law enforcement agencies with existing 287(g) agreements that New York law now prohibits local governments and law enforcement agencies from participating in any formal or informal 287(g) agreement and using correctional facilities, juvenile detention facilities, and facilities for youth to house federal civil immigration detainees. Under the new state law, existing 287(g) agreements must be terminated by August 25, 2026.
Many of the MS-13 gangsters are juveniles or claim they are.
The new laws include:
- Restrict the use of state and local resources for civil immigration enforcement;
- Limit sharing certain sensitive information with federal immigration authorities;
- Implement new protections for students and families in schools; and
- Ban local governments and law enforcement agencies from having or entering into agreements for civil immigration enforcement with ICE under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
They plan to investigate and go after ICE and other law enforcement officers as if they were the criminals.
We are in big trouble in New York. Kathy Hochul does the bidding of Zohran and his fellow communists.

While New Yorkers are trapped on flooded streets, Kathy Hochul keeps watching from Albany instead of fixing the problem.
Mamdani is busy chasing headlines and pushing socialist giveaways while the city’s roads, drains, and basic services fall apart.

Bruce Blakeman is normal unlike James and Hochul. He also did a great job in Nassau County.
New Yorkers don’t need another politician who fits in with Hochul and Mamdani’s failed status quo.
They need a governor willing to fight for them.
I’ll cut taxes, slash utility bills, support law enforcement, and make our communities safer and more affordable.
That’s… pic.twitter.com/RlUFAGGo0N
