Immigrants rights groups Tuesday delivered 11,000 petition signatures to Governor Cuomo calling for him to take action on behalf of immigrants. The groups want Cuomo to advance policies to protect immigrant families in the face of Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.
There are specific pieces of legislation Cuomo could support, including the Liberty Act, and the DREAM Act.
The immigrant rights groups have created an Immigrant Opportunity Agenda of legislative proposals. The Liberty Act in New York would limit cooperation between immigration enforcement and state and local agencies.
