Bill > A09376

This bill establishes the "Reporting of Arrests, Detentions, Actions and Removals by Immigration Enforcement" (RADAR) Act, which requires New York state to create a publicly accessible online dashboard tracking immigration enforcement activities. The dashboard will comprehensively record and display aggregate, non-identifying data about interactions between state and local agencies and federal immigration authorities, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Agencies will be required to electronically report weekly on immigration enforcement actions, such as arrests, detentions, interviews, and transfers, with detailed information like the individual's demographic data, location of enforcement, and agency responses. The dashboard will provide insights into the type, frequency, and geographic distribution of immigration enforcement actions, while protecting individual privacy by anonymizing data. Agencies that fail to report as required may face penalties like written warnings, referral to the attorney general, or ineligibility for state grants. The bill mandates that the division responsible for the dashboard consult with various state departments, develop standardized reporting templates, and submit annual reports to state leadership summarizing collected data and trends. The dashboard must be made publicly available within 12 months of the bill's effective date, with the goal of increasing transparency around immigration enforcement activities in New York state.
