NYC Makes It Illegal to Call Someone an ‘Illegal Alien’

New York City declared on Thursday that using the term “illegal alien” in a derogatory way is illegal and punishable by a fine of up to $250,000.

The city’s Commission on Human Rights issued new legal enforcement guidance stating that “the use of the term ‘illegal alien,’ among others, when used with the intent to demean, humiliate, or harass a person, is illegal under the law.”

Also outlawed under the guidelines are “harassing and discriminating against someone for their use of another language or their limited English proficiency, and threatening to call ICE on a person based on a discriminatory motive.” . . .

Mayor Bill De Blasio, who earlier this month aborted his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, retweeted the city’s post. (Read more from “NYC Makes It Illegal to Call Someone an ‘Illegal Alien’” HERE)
