Council Member Shahana Hanif uses her speaking time to encourage her colleagues to sponsor Introduction 214, also known as the New York City Trust Act. The bill aims to strengthen the city's sanctuary city laws by allowing individuals to sue for damages if their rights are violated due to illegal collaboration with ICE.
- The bill currently has 26 sponsors
- It aligns with the goals of Resolution 714-A to end illegal local collaboration with ICE
- The Trust Act would empower individuals to sue for damages if city agencies violate sanctuary city laws

I am using my time to urge colleagues to sponsor Intro two fourteen, the New York City Trust Act, which works towards the same goals as resolution seven fourteen a of ending illegal local collaboration with ICE.
