The ACLU of New York has released a policy platform urging the next mayor to defend and strengthen the city’s sanctuary laws, regulate surveillance technology, and protect the rights of vulnerable communities, including immigrants, incarcerated people, and LGBTQ and immigrant students.
Pamela Wridt and Robert Sauve are suing the City of New York over the NYPD’s expanding use of surveillance cameras, alleging that the city’s practices violate constitutional protections for privacy, free speech, and association.
The ACLU’s Seven States Safety Campaign is advocating for police reform and transparency, as President Trump’s administration is pushing for police brutality, but state and local officials have the power to implement reforms that prevent police abuse and ensure that police comply with the Constitution.
New York City’s criminal legal system is facing renewed tensions over public safety, enforcement practices, and racial disparities, with recent declines in crime rates and incarceration followed by an uptick in enforcement and incarceration, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to address the issue.
