• Passing New York for All and Dignity Not Detention

• Strengthening Consumer Protections

• Delivering on Coverage for All

As an immigrant herself, Yuh-Line Niou understands firsthand that immigrants are an inseparable part of both the community and economy of New York City. However, recent federal actions, including an unprecedented increase in ICE raids, have created a culture of fear in immigrant communities. Yuh-Line has been continually involved in local community organizing and is committed to finding policy approaches that bring us closer to the goal of abolishment.

Once elected, Yuh-Line will push for existing legislation such as the New York For All Act (S.2235), prohibiting any state or local employees, including school employees, police officers, and contractors, from collaborating with ICE. Yuh-Line understands the importance of legal representation through the immigration process. She is committed to fighting for the passage of (S.141), which establishes a right to counsel for immigrants domiciled in New York. In addition, Yuh-Line is committed to sponsoring new legislation prohibiting DHS agents from lying about their identity when attempting to gain entry to a private area. In a world where public trust in our institutions is already fraught, ICE agents masquerading as police officers and government workers compromise the integrity of our state and local officials. Yuh-Line will also fight to pass Dignity Not Detention (S.306/A.4354) would end New York's collaboration with ICE detention entirely. Yuh-Line knows all too well that immigrant health is community health. Thousands of New Yorkers are uninsured due to their immigration status, she will fight to pass Coverage for All (S.2237/A.3020), creating a coverage plan for New Yorkers regardless of immigration status.
