Commissioner Ali thanks partners and outlines ongoing work
Commissioner Ali thanks agency partners and emphasizes ongoing cooperation and continuous improvement. She says work is not finished and MOIA will continue through the IRC to guide agencies and educate the public.
I want to thank all of our agency partners and really emphasize the cooperation on this effort from all of them, the careful work that they have done to implement these recommendations, and the ongoing conversations around continuous improvement.
That collaboration gives me confidence in our approach.
But our work, of course, is not finished.
City agencies will continue to complete the implementation of
of adopted audit recommendations, reviewing and updating their policies as needed.
Through our role in the IRC, MOYA will continue to provide guidance on preparing for and responding to impacts on our immigrant communities, while working with colleagues at sister agencies to educate the public about our laws.
As federal enforcement practices and tactics evolve, our city government must remain responsive.
The Executive Order 13 audit was one step in that direction.
This administration is closely monitoring the escalation of civil immigration enforcement activity and responding to the needs we see on the ground, especially when it comes to the interactions our city agencies
and federal immigration authorities.
It is our responsibility to support and maintain trust with all New Yorkers, including our immigrant communities.
