Governor Cuomo has announced the creation of a confidential toll-free hotline for state residents to report family members, relatives, friends, or colleagues believed to be detained at airports. New Yorkers who have experienced issues relating to recent federal actions are encouraged to call the state’s toll-free hotline at 1-888-769-7243. Cuomo says the state welcomes new immigrants, and that New York will continue to be a beacon of hope for those seeking refuge. Also this weekend, he directed the Port Authority and Department of State to explore all legal options to assist anyone detained at New York airports.
