Mike Lawler Tells Hochul to ‘Stop Tying the Hands of Our Local Police, Stop Forcing Sanctuary Policies’ on New York

EXCERPT:

LAWLER: “Today we are here as one community to send a clear message to Governor Hochul and Albany Democrats. Stop tying the hands of our local police. Stop forcing sanctuary policies on our towns and villages, and stop putting politics ahead of public safety. This so-called Local Cops, Local Crimes Act does exactly the opposite of what its name suggests. This bill prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities and threatens to withhold state law enforcement funding from departments that refuse to comply. In plain English, Albany is trying to pressure our police departments into becoming sanctuary outposts.”
