Lawmakers in New York cried foul over a new piece of legislation that would allow state leaders to detain those identified as a \u201ccase, contact or carrier\u201d of a contagious disease in the interest of protecting public health.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The legislation in question, Bill A416, was sponsored by State Assemblyman Noah Perry. Bill A416 would allow the governor or his or her delegates to detain a person who poses an \u201cimminent and significant threat to public health<\/em>\u201d in a medical facility or some other facility designated by the governor. The bill did not actually mention COVID-19 nor cite specific criteria or locations for the detentions.<\/p>\n

Critics pointed out that the bill\u2019s vague provisions would allow unconstitutional and indefinite detainment. But Perry nevertheless defended the bill, arguing that \u201cit does not violate Americans\u2019 constitutional rights<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Perry told\u00a0Fox News<\/em>\u00a0that he understands that the\u00a0Constitution<\/em>\u00a0is sacred and that his bill has no intent to take away or violate any rights or liberties that Americans are entitled to.<\/p>\n

The bill will also uphold due process by requiring the governor or his or her delegates to first apply for a court order authorizing detention within three business days before actually detaining anyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetention Camp\u201d Bill met with backlash<\/strong><\/p>\n

Critics wasted no time denouncing the bill. State Assemblyman John Salka said he was disappointed that some of his colleagues would seek to add to Cuomo\u2019s already numerous emergency powers.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the governor cannot have sole authority to detain anyone as it is simply unconstitutional, said Salka. \u201cNow is not the time to introduce a bill like this, giving the governor even more power over the people<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assemblyman Stephen Hawley shared the sentiment, arguing that the bill forfeits constitutional liberty in such a way that cannot be allowed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, State Sen. George Borello said the mere introduction of bills like Bill A416 ultimately harms efforts to get New York through the pandemic.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Elizabeth Joy, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in New York last year, called Perry\u2019s bill \u201c[straight-up] detention camp stuff<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Joy said a bill that would give Cuomo or any designated leader full power to detain people if deemed contagious was horrifying. \u201cWake up NY [and] Fight!<\/em>\u201d wrote Joy.<\/p>\n

Conservative podcast host Allie Stuckey was also just as, if not more pointed, in her recent tweet on the matter. She cautioned that the bill may one day be used to forcibly detain residents for any reason the state sees fit.<\/p>\n

An adviser for Cuomo maintains that the governor did not know about the bill. It was referred to the New York State Assembly\u2019s Health Committee on Jan. 6, and is currently awaiting approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
