New York A07859 prohibits civil arrest in hospitals, shelters, food banks, and crisis centers unless for imminent safety or with a judicial warrant.

New York A07859, known as the "ICE ban in hospitals and shelters act," amends the civil rights law to protect individuals from civil arrest in hospitals, shelters, food banks, and crisis centers. This protection applies to those attending, employed at, or lawfully present in these settings. Civil arrests are only allowed if supported by a judicial warrant or if addressing an imminent safety situation. Administrative warrants or immigration detainers are not sufficient. Violators may face civil action for relief, and successful actions can result in recovery of costs and attorney's fees.
