June 5, 2021
On Thursday, the New York state Senate passed legislation that will protect all the immigrant New Yorkers from threats of revealing immigration status for the purpose of blackmail. The bill would supplement the laws barring extortion and coercion to include making threats to report an individual’s immigration status or bring about deportation proceedings. Such similar measures have also been passed in California, Colorado, Maryland and Virginia.
