Bill > S08858

This bill, known as the "reporting of arrests, detentions, actions and removals by immigration enforcement (RADAR) act," mandates the creation and public availability of an online dashboard to track immigration enforcement activities within New York State. The dashboard will be maintained by the division, in consultation with several state departments, and will log all interactions between state and local agencies ("agencies") and federal immigration authorities, which include entities like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection. It will record various "immigration enforcement actions," such as arrests, detentions, and interviews, along with any "cooperation" provided by state or local entities in response to requests from immigration authorities. The bill defines "contact" as any communication or request between these entities. The dashboard will display aggregated, non-identifying data, including the types and locations of enforcement actions, the amount of contact received, and the nature of agency responses, while strictly prohibiting the publication of any personally identifying information. Agencies failing to report as required may face penalties, and the bill emphasizes that it does not authorize cooperation beyond existing state or local prohibitions. The dashboard is to be made publicly accessible within twelve months of the bill's effective date.
