NYC gives additional $1.6 million to city attorneys to defend illegal aliens being deported

Oh yeah, but dems are all for border control....riiiiiighhht

Calling it a defensive fund against President Trump’s immigration policies, New York City officials plan to put an extra $1.6 million toward public defenders representing immigrants slated for deportation, according to the New York Daily News.

The move to bolster the funding arose from a deal between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Council Speaker Corey Johnson.

Attorneys and immigrant rights groups had pushed for money, saying that courts were rushing decisions on deportation and that immigrants were at a disadvantage if they did not have the help of an attorney.

“This emergency funding will help us provide more attorneys to New Yorkers in need,” Johnson said, according to the Daily News. “This is crucial right now as the ICE deportation machine has ramped up efforts to interfere with the necessary work NYIFUP is doing by pushing people through the system with zero regard for due process. I will continue to fight these un-American and horrific immigration policies.”

At present, the city has an allotment of $10 million for public defenders who work on immigration cases. The attorneys had requested an extra $6.6 million, citing the addition of immigration courts in New York aimed at accommodating a backlog of deportation cases, the Daily News said.

The attorneys expressed concern that hearings were being rushed.

Immigrants facing deportation are not entitled to a public defender. Many areas have non-profits that provide such immigrants with pro-bono attorneys.

The city established the program to address the void.

“All respondents have a right to counsel at no expense to the government," the Department of Justice’s Executive of Immigration Review said. "EOIR has long worked to improve access to legal information and counseling and increase the level of representation for individuals appearing before the immigration courts and Board of Immigration Appeals.”

“This work has been carried out primarily through initiatives that facilitate access to information and help create new incentives for attorneys, non-profit organizations and their representatives, and law students to accept pro bono cases.”

Meanwhile, Immigration advocates were pressing Gov. Andrew Cuomo to keep public funding for legal services for immigrants around the state who are slated for deportation, as well as immigrants who need other services.

They told the Daily News they are concerned that the governor will cut funding for the Liberty Defense Project, which provides legal counsel and other support services.

“It is inexplicable that as the Trump administration continues its assault on New York’s communities, our State leaders are ripping away its lifeline for legal defense and protection against deportation,” said Steven Choi, the group’s executive director, to the Daily News. “It is a complete sham for our leaders – Governor Cuomo, Speaker Heastie and Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins – to say they stand up to Trump on behalf of our immigrants – and then remove the very assistance that protects New Yorkers from Trump’s deportation force."

So, you use a picture of El Salvador transferring prisoners in 2016 to illustrate a story about New York spending money on immigrants.

Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins is ordering her staff to be on the lookout for federal ICE agents in or around courthouses, telling them to “immediately notify” her if the feds are looking for illegal immigrants in court.

It’s part of “The Rollins Memo” — a 65-page policy blueprint released Monday to staffers that also doubles down on her controversial no-prosecute list and details how she wants suspects, victims, cops and federal agents to be treated. Jail, she states throughout the memo, should not be the first option in many cases — not prosecuting certain crimes, she said, is a “default” position.

So, if it is the same thing, why didn't you post a picture of the hordes of illegal immigrants in New York that are all waiting for deportation?

No, you purposely chose an image of hardened gang members in El Salvador because it helps your racist narrative.

You also might do some research and find out what the word "FACT" actually means.

I just googled "illegal alien" and it came up.

Wanting to deport people who illegally entered into the country is now racist? And yes, most of the illegals come from south of the border (Mexico & Central America).

That's one of the most viciously racist things I've ever heard of!

Why aren't they just giving the money directly to the illegals? They could buy houses and cars and live the good life and never have to work again. #triggeredAF #nojustice

The people who suffer the most from illegal migration and mass migration are the lower class. Who happen to contain many Blacks and Latino Americans.

There's positive action disappearing up it's own asshole.
