NY bans questions about immigration status

ALBANY -- Amid the national debate over immigration, Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday issued an executive order that bans state agencies and State Police from asking about or disclosing an individual's immigration status in most cases.


The move is the latest by New York officials to counter attempts by the federal government to crack down on illegal immigration and amid the debate over whether to deport protecting young immigrants.


"As Washington squabbles over rolling back sensible immigration policy, we are taking action to help protect all New Yorkers from unwarranted targeting by government," Cuomo said in a statement.


Cities across upstate, including Rochester, Kingston and Syracuse, have deemed themselves "sanctuary cities," meaning they will, in most cases, not use city resources to tackle immigration enforcement and buck federal policies.
