纽约房东注意!威胁举报无证移民身份,将被视为犯罪 来源: 华人生活网 10/10/2021 注意了!不是无证移民犯罪,而是如果以此威胁或者举报,那么举报人属于犯罪。 纽约州长凯西·霍赫尔9日签署了一项立法 (S.343-A/A.3412-A),该法将某些威胁报告某人的移民身份的行为视为敲诈或胁迫。 在劳工贩卖和性贩卖案件中,威胁报告一个人的移民身份目前可被视为犯罪,但以前并未被视为潜在的勒索或胁迫犯罪。 凯西·霍赫尔表示,纽约建立在几代移民的辛勤工作和努力之上,应支持那些努力为自己和家人创造更美好生活的人们,“这项立法将保护纽约人免于因自己的移民身份而被不良行为者进行勒索或胁迫,并使我们的州更安全,免受恶意威胁和恐吓。” 这里也提醒下华人,特别是一些华人房东,疫情期间,有人面对自己的房客不交钱,会威胁对方举报对方无证客身份,虽然很多房东只是想吓吓对方。但是,现在这属于违法了! 该法案允许检察官对那些威胁他人将被递解出境的人进行起诉,即使相关案件与劳工或性交易无关。 加州、科罗拉多州、马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州也颁布了类似的措施,该立法基于公共领导研究所推荐的题为“防止敲诈移民法”的示范立法。 参议员凯普兰( Anna M. Kaplan,音译)表示,对于逃难的无证移民来说,被报告给移民及海关执法局可能意味死刑,但很多人却利用这些脆弱的人,威胁要举报他们的移民身份,以便以某种方式剥削他们。 该项立法将确保纽约移民不会受到上述卑鄙的威胁。 众议员索拉格斯( Michaelle C. Solages,音译)表示,这项立法为纽约保护无证移民的持续努力开开了新天地,“任意的递解出境的威胁对试图养家糊口和让孩子过上更好生活的纽约人极为有害,我们今天和永远与他们(无证移民)站在一起。” 文:综合星岛日报 Governor Hochul Signs Legislation …
