A New York City council committee took steps Monday to make it more difficult for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to do their job.
The New York Post reports that the five committee members unanimously approved legislation that would block ICE agents from using New York Police Department employees or any city resources when ICE attempts to enforce federal immigration laws.
The decision passed without debate. It now goes before the entire city council for approval, where it is anticipated to receive broad support.
As part of its sanctuary city status, New York already restrains its police from investigating or arresting illegal immigrants. But this latest legislative maneuver will further restrict the ability of ICE agents to effectively operate in the city by cutting off their access to city facilities, employees or even property.
