State
leaders can highlight the lost privacy that anti-immigrant witchhunts engender
by pursuing policies and resolutions that limit questioning and recording of
immigration status by city and state agencies, except where required by federal
law.
- Texas proposed HB 2381 to prohibit
an officer, employee, or medical staff member of a general hospital to
inquire as to the immigration status or nationality of a person who needs
or receives emergency services, unless the information is necessary to
provide those services to the person.
- New
York's proposed SB 6738 would prohibit state officers
or employees from disclosing a person's immigration status.
