‘New York Is Providing $50 million to Cover Legal Services’ For Illegal Aliens
Governor Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) announced Tuesday that the state of New York will provide $50 million in taxpayer dollars to pay legal fees for illegal immigrants to help them fight back against the Trump administration’s popular deportation efforts.
The governor highlighted the state’s “investment” during a dramatic news conference addressing the arrest of New York City comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who was busted by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents earlier Tuesday for allegedly assaulting a federal officer.
Hochul said she believed the charges against Lander had been dropped, but added that she was still concerned about illegal aliens being “taken away from their families” in New York.
“They don’t have the attention, they don’t have the lawyers and that’s why the State of New York is providing 50 million dollars to cover legal services for people who are finding themselves in this situation,” Hochul said. We continue to do what we can to support the communities and the immigration coalitions and thank them for their work they’re doing at this time.”
