Former Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson ripped Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday over the state\u2019s new anti-ICE package, warning the legislation amounts to a serious blunder and could invite a wave of lawsuits.<\/p>\n

Paterson appeared on John Catsimatidis\u2019 \u201cCats Roundtable\u201d radio show on 77 WABC, the New York Post (NYP) reported. He argued the legislation strips counties of their authority to work with federal agents, a shift he warned could lead to more federal raids and pile legal bills onto state taxpayers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last I heard, the federal government supersedes the local government,\u201d Paterson told 77 WABC. \u201cWhen I was governor, I tried to adhere to that.\u201d Paterson served as governor from 2008 to 2010, succeeding Eliot Spitzer, and once led the state Democratic Party.

Albany lawmakers cleared the package on Thursday, according to Gothamist. The bills end 287(g) agreements with ICE, block federal agents from hospitals and parks, and bar them from wearing masks that obscure their identities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paterson predicted Republican county executives could band together against the state. \u201cNassau County, Suffolk County, the other counties around the state could ban together and bring a lawsuit against the state legislature itself, and the governor for taking this approach,\u201d he told the radio show, the NYP reported. \u201cIt was an egregious mistake they made,\u201d Paterson said.<\/p>\n

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is challenging Hochul this fall, has pledged to sue if the law voids his county\u2019s ICE contracts, Gothamist reported. Federal border czar Tom Homan has separately threatened to deploy more ICE agents to New York if Hochul signs the bill.<\/p>\n

Blakeman publicly backed Paterson in a statement to the NYP. \u201cCommon Sense Democrats know that Kathy Hochul has made our neighborhoods less safe with her pro-criminal policies,\u201d Blakeman said. \u201cGovernor Paterson is a sensible and thoughtful Democrat who is rightfully appalled with Hochul\u2019s support of this dangerous legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hochul has defended the legislation as a check on what she calls federal overreach. \u201cIt\u2019ll make New York a leader in addressing ICE overreach while also ensuring that there\u2019s no sanctuary for criminals in this state,\u201d she said in Buffalo on Thursday, according to the NYP.<\/p>\n
