Proposed bill bans out-of-state National Gaurd deployment

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — New York Senator Jeremy Cooney has become a co-sponsor of a new bill that would prohibit other states from deploying their National Guard in New York without permission from our Governor.

This is a move to preempt President Trump's tactic of deploying out-of-state National Guard into cities such as Washington, D.C., Portland, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois. This bill would strengthen New York's legal position to oppose any deployment in the state, including sanctuary cities such as Rochester.

In a statement, Cooney said, “President Trump is deploying troops in American cities to instill fear and attempt to submit Democratic-led cities to his will. We will not participate in his attempts to intimidate Americans, and we cannot allow the unlawful deployment of troops
