Hochul and James warn counties to end ICE jails before deadline November 6, 2026 - WRGB CBS6 Albany "New York is moving to cut off the use of local jails for federal civil immigration detention, and state leaders are warning counties they must act before the deadline. Gov. Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that the Office of the Attorney General’s Office of Immigrant Trust sent letters to county executives and sheriffs across the state outlining their legal obligation to end any agreement to house or detain people for federal civil immigration violations by Nov. 25, 2026. The directive stems from the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, which was passed by the New York Legislature and signed by Hochul in May. The law prohibits local governments from housing civil immigration detainees in local correctional facilities on behalf of federal immigration authorities and gives agencies until Nov. 25 to unwind those agreements." https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/governor-kathy-hochul-and-attorney-general-letitia-james-warn-counties-to-end-ice-jail-deals-before-deadline-immigration-enforcement-law-local-cops-crimes-new-york-safety-federal-criminal-charges-employee-contractor-school-government-state-cbs6-wrgb
