NYC bans calling someone “illegal alien” or to say you’ll call ICE on them, if motivated by hate

Flagrant violation of federal law.

NYC bans calling someone an ‘illegal alien’ of out hate

Becca Glasser-Baker
A new NYC law says it's now illegal to call someone an "illegal alien" or threaten to report them to ICE, if motivated by hatred.

A document shared on the nyc.gov reads that, “It is illegal for a person’s employer, coworkers, or housing provider such as landlords to use derogatory or offensive terms to intimidate, humiliate, or degrade people, including by using the term ‘illegal alien,’ where its use is intended to demean, humiliate, or offend another person.”

Additionally, it reads, “It is illegal for employers to pay workers lower wages or no wages or threaten to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to harass, scare, or intimidate workers because of their immigration status.”

The City of New York shared news of this on Twitter:
BREAKING: New York City has made it illegal to threaten to call ICE based on a discriminatory motive or to tell someone “go back to your country.” Hate has no place here.
It was reported that those who violate this new law can be fined up to $250,000 per offense. The City Hall’s Commission on Human Right released a 29-page directive about the new law.

The document reads, “‘Alien’ — used in many laws to refer to a ‘noncitizen’ person — is a term that may carry negative connotations and dehumanize immigrants, marking them as ‘other’.”

And another section of the memo reads, “The use of certain language, including ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals,’ with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination.”

The document goes on to explain hypothetical situations this might occur in and what to do.

At the moment, four ongoing cases involve discrimination based on folks threatening to call to ICE in order to intimidate, harass, and threaten victims.

Carmelyn Malalis, the agency’s commissioner, told the New York Post that “(i)n the face of increasingly hostile national rhetoric, we will do everything in our power to make sure our treasured immigrant communities are able to live with dignity and respect, free of harassment and bias.”

News of this comes within days of a recent ICE raid across the tri-state area. The New York Post reported that the ICE arrested 82 within the state of New York alone.

Yep! Also, telling ab illegal alien to go back to your country isn't hate. Ot's merely telling him to stop being in violation of the law and to rectify the situation. Like if a store owner tells someone stealing a candy bar to put it back.

Criminalizing this kind of hate speech won't stop bigots and xenophobes from doing it.

I understand what the city is trying to do, but it's probably gonna be unenforceable in most cases.

It's absurd on multiple levels.

1. The phrase is accurate, and need not be used in a bigoted or xenophobic manner. They are present in the United States in a manner that is contrary to its laws. Illegal does not need to mean criminal. Someone who bicycles the wrong way on a one way street is engaging in illegal activity even though not criminal.

2. It's of course extremely difficult to determine when something is done in a hateful manner, which is the problem with all hate crime laws.

3. Is it actually any more friendly to call someone the presumably still permitted "undocumented non-resident?"

You entered the country illegally.

You took a job which your employer had no right to hire you ....taking that job away who entered the U.S. legally or a U S. Citizen

You committed a violation of Federal Law. Nothing bigotry about that.

I think that the objection is that actions are illegal, not people. Hence all of the "no person is illegal" signs.

OK. But I would not hesitate to call someone riding a bike on a sidewalk an "illegal bicyclist" or someone who drove with an expired license an "illegal driver."

It may be technically an incorrect use of the English language but that doesn't presumptively make it hate speech.

Not false.

Threatening the President or joking about carrying a bomb at a TSA airport checkpoint, are two excellent examples of prohibited speech.

I would qualify that by saying it depends on the context in which such utterances are made, e.g., to coerce others into accepting low or no wages or refraining from reporting a malicious or negligent landlord.

I'm trying to understand the nature of what we're talking about. Is it a law, properly understood (e.g. an act of the legislature?) The memo in question reads that it is issuing "new legal enforcement guidance that defines discrimination." Is that law? Why are we working off a separate document rather than the actual law? Has the law changed, or has it been clarified? Does anyone have the authority to clarify existing law besides the courts?

MTA officials demanded an Orthodox Jewish transit worker prove he observes Rosh Hashanah for “a religious reason” in order to get the holiday off, union officials said Friday.

Benjamin Schaeffer, a 22-year MTA transit worker, was initially denied permission to take off for the Jewish new year, according to Transport Workers Union Local 100.

A supervisor then granted Schaeffer the holiday, but told TWU Local 100 veep Eric Loegel that Schaffer would need to submit documentation within 5 days to prove he’d actually observed the holiday or he’d be marked as “AWOL.”

“This smacks of anti-Semitism, and is definitely anti-worker,” TWU Local 100 said in a statement. “What kind of railroad is MTA Chairman Pat Foye running?

Schaeffer followed MTA regulations by asking for the day off three weeks in advance, and the MTA had granted Schaeffer the holiday every year prior without issue, union reps said.

LANDLORD: Listen, you fucking illegal alien, shut the fuck up and be glad I allow you to live here. Otherwise, I'll call ICE, and you'll wish you were back here freezing.

I'm a member. I remember asking Bart about you years ago and can confirm that at the time he did not think highly of you. I don't recall why for sure but I think that it had to do with photos. Keep in mind that it's not a rail fan site, but an advocacy site. Bart isn't really even a fan of the message board.

In reality the landlord likely wouldn't get abusive and could make exactly the same insinuation without using illegal language, so what's the point?

You don't know NYC landlords. The hypothetical exchange I posted is...tame...for a NYC landlord.

That's not the point.

TENANT: I haven't had heat in six weeks. I'm calling the city.

LANDLORD: Listen, you fucking wetter, shut the fuck up and be glad I allow you to live here. Otherwise, I'll call The federal government, and you'll wish you were back here freezing.

TENANT: I apologize for my attitude, sir. I'll just buy extra blankets and wear my coat inside.

"The federal government" is vague and general. "ICE" is specific in both its identity and the likely consequences for the tenant.

"Wetter" is synonymous with "illegal alien"
