Nassau County is not a formal sanctuary jurisdiction. It cooperates with federal immigration authorities to varying degrees, while New York State's Trust Act limits state agency cooperation with civil immigration enforcement.
Nassau County's approach to immigration cooperation has shifted with administrations and is currently more cooperative with federal immigration authorities than neighboring NYC. Nassau does not have a formal sanctuary ordinance. New York State's Trust Act and related guidance restrict state agencies, including DMV and state police, from sharing information for civil immigration enforcement, but local police agencies have more latitude. NCPD policies vary on honoring ICE detainers without judicial warrants. The Nassau County Anti-Discrimination County Local Law (CHRO) and its anti-bias provisions protect against discrimination based on national origin in housing and employment. County social services do not generally inquire about immigration status for emergency services.
Discrimination based on immigration status or national origin in housing, employment, or public accommodation can result in CHRO complaints, civil penalties, and damages awarded to the complainant.
