U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been seen across parts of the Hudson Valley over the last few weeks as President Donald Trump ramps up immigration efforts.

New York Assembly Member Dana Levenberg represents the 95th District. That district includes some of Westchester's larger immigrant populations, including Ossining and Peekskill. Levenberg said she was "joining the number of advocates, legal experts and everyday Americans calling for an end to the terror-inducing raids against workers and families across the country."

She added in a statement: "The federal government needs to focus its efforts on actual criminals and allow our local law enforcement to keep families safe, instead of tearing people from their loved ones without due process."

With the summer recess approaching in Albany, some lawmakers say they are pushing to pass the New York For All Act, which would largely prohibit state and local law enforcement from working with federal immigration authorities.

It's unclear if the bill has enough support to make it over the finish line in time.

After nearly a decade, both houses of the New York State Legislature approved a bill that, if signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul, would allow terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live and who have been found by two doctors to be mentally capable to make an informed decision to obtain a prescription that would put them to sleep and peacefully end their lives.

The bill was first introduced in 2016.

New York Assembly Member Amy Paulin has championed the bill and ushered it over the finish line earlier this year in the Assembly. On June 9, the state Senate gave the bill its stamp of approval.

"After more than a decade of advocacy, we are finally on the brink of giving terminally ill New Yorkers the autonomy and dignity they deserve at life’s end," Paulin said. "This legislation is about easing needless suffering and honoring deeply personal choices."

Opponents had criticized the bill on religious grounds and had called on the state to invest money into end-of-life care instead.

It's unclear if Hochul will sign the bill.

A YouGov poll in early 2024 found over 70% favored the legislation.

This week, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins and Rep. George Latimer denounced the Trump administration's proposal to cut Amtrak's Northeast Corridor funding by 25%.

According to the transit service, the Northeast Corridor, which runs from Washington, D.C. to Boston and connects Westchester in between, is the most heavily used in the country.

"Slashing funding for the nation’s busiest rail corridor – while boosting less-used lines elsewhere – is not only shortsighted, it's reckless," Jenkins said.

"Cutting this necessary funding is merely political payback to states in the Northeast," Latimer said. "I will not support a budget that includes this cut.”

The Department of Transportation’s 2026 budget plan shows a budget reduction for the Northeast Corridor from $1.14 billion to $850 million, if approved.
