With the new Trump administration signing dozens of executive orders, Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state will “continue to follow the law” when it comes to immigration.

“We’re going to continue to follow the law. And the law says that when someone is here and has committed a crime, the state of New York will cooperate with you,” she told NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Wednesday.

According to Hochul, if an immigrant has a warrant, they can still speak with law enforcement for assistance.

“It’s a challenge for us right now, because there’s a lot of hostile threats coming out of Washington, but we have to be prepared to do what’s right,” she said.

She emphasized that anyone who has committed a serious crime against any New Yorker “doesn’t belong here.”

“We can’t be in this hyperreactive mode every 20 minutes to what they’re doing,” she said.

Dozens of states, including New York, have served the Trump administration with a lawsuit challenging a newly issued executive order to end birthright citizenship.

“We were ready for that. That’s why the lawsuit was filed almost instantaneously by our attorney general. She was on it,” Hochul said.

“I’ve got to govern a fast, complex state. And we can’t be distracted by every move they make. We’re not going to be serving the people we need to look out for and those are fellow New Yorkers,” she said.

Hochul said there will be times when Trump says something dramatic to “get the attention” when it really means he’s going to punt it to an agency to come up with regulations.

Hochul said the state will continue to deal with immigration as it arises and will not tolerate families being torn apart.

“We have to fix a broken immigration system that Congress had the chance to do last year and Republicans forfeit that because they wanted to make it a political football and they succeeded and they scared people. Now, we have to deal with the fallout of that, which is a Donald Trump administration,” she said.

Earlier this week, Hochul unveiled her $252 billion budget for the state this year.

“All the criticism aside, we were able to balance this budget,” she said. “I’ve worked so hard to make sure that if something happens, a pandemic, a natural disaster or anything that we can anticipate, that’s what it’s for. So we are in a good path.”
