MIDDLETOWN, N.Y.—New York state Sen. James Skoufis on May 1 shared his position on the New York for All Act being discussed in state budget negotiations. The bill would prohibit New York law enforcement officials from coordinating with federal immigration agents.

Skoufis, a Democrat, said in a news release that he tries to be nuanced in his policymaking on complex issues such as immigration. He said he separates illegal immigrants into two groups: those who are good neighbors and those who commit serious crimes.
