#BREAKING: I took action to ensure NYS banks, creditors & debt collectors can NOT garnish CARES Act stimulus payments & raid critical financial relief from New Yorkers during this crisis.
Any institution that violates this order will face swift legal action from my office.
Please call the legislative leaders ASAP and urge them to support funding for immigrant defense through the Liberty Defense Fund and NYIFUP. This funding is in real danger.
