Some examples of discriminatory violations outlined in the guidance include paying a lower wage or withholding wages to workers because of their immigration status and harassing store customers by telling them to stop speaking their language and demanding they speak English.
The commission also announced that it is currently investigating four cases involving discrimination “based on threats to call ICE in order to harass, threaten or intimidate a victim” in conjunction with the new directives. One of these cases involves a landlord in Queens who sent menacing text messages to a tenant.
Well I guess I will say whatever I want to say when I want to say it. Dare you to stop me.
using a term like mayor or governor on frauds should also be outlawed.
That committee is a bunch of assholes.
Using the terms “illegal alien' or 'illegals' with 'intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person' in New York City - NYC is AGAINST THE LAW and can result in fines as high as $250,000, according to new guidance from the NYC Commission on HumanRights.
This is a violation of Free Speech
Free speech is going away for us with progressive government!
Yikes!!! NYC government gone mad!!!!!

Ha
TheLibertyLamp “invaders” is a more appropriate term anyway
(the use) with evil intents.
NBCLatino No person should be called or classified, as an “illegal alien,” anywhere on 🌎 (earth).
Why I ❤️NYC! It does not tolerate filthy bigotry or racism. Well done NYCMayor!
It should be federal. Calling a person illegal is pure discrimination based on nothing.
How about illegal immigrants
wow socialism at it's best..I hear people say things much worse than that. How much will that fine be.
If an immigrant is in the U.S. illegally and are alien to the U.S. (from another country) they are indeed illegal aliens. So NYC can now fine someone for stating a fact? That's not only insane.... it's fascist/nazi-like.
I believe Genesis had a song called that, and it was a bouncy tune!
Pure bullshit
Couldn’t they ban the term ‘mayor deblasio ‘?
You are an illegal alien do you understand?
This law is against the law
Can you say lawsuit ?
What happened to free speech in this country? California and New York are communist states!
Next words to be banned are, drug dealer, child predator, bank robber and car thief. You know, so not to demean, humiliate or harass a criminal.
Punishment for telling the truth. That’s the DemonRats way
1st amendment violation.
Horse shit. It’s an actual definition. Illegal aliens are those in our country illegally. To call it anything else is being dishonest. We have laws. They’re broken. They’re illegal!
About time.. no one deserves to be discriminated against like that.
Doesn’t that violate free speech? This is still America we are allowed to express our opinions. Odd that the ACLU is silent here . They should be all over this . Why don’t you news people interview them, do you still do stuff like that or are you waiting for the democrat ok on it
90% of the posters will not have read the story, just rwact to the tweet. Which is partly what NBC News wants. Inflammatory for clicks. Pathetic. OTMBrooke Bobosphere onthemedia propublica patkiernan jaketapper
The guidance... also makes it illegal to harass or discriminate against 'someone for their use of another language or their limited English proficiency, and threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE ) on a person based on a discriminatory motive.”
Illegal Immigrants?
When we start to legislate free speech, it’s a sad day.
Violation of the 1st Amendment and a lawsuit waiting to happen
I’d like to see them fight that in court.
In case New York City forgot: Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. God forbid we say something that may offend someone.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. PERIOD. MAGA
Here I thought it described people committing a crime like crack heads. A I demeaning them too.
Bad move against Freedom of speech NY
well, not legal is breaking the law. LawEnforcement LawAndOrder
No problem. My intent is always to unambiguously describe succinctly with fewest words possible. Accuracy, not malice.
BistyCSRoss problem with this is going to be on federal levels i heard the terminology yesterday in a hearing with DHS homeland immigrations stuff and they are saying in their court documents that immigrants are Aliens. I heard the guy repeatedly use that term instead of immigrants.
What is the fine for harassing women as they walk down the street in NYC?
no cure for dumb !
It's sad that we feel the need to legislate common human decency in this country.
NBC just used those words in their tweet, will they be subject to a fine now?
I’m really glad that illegal aliens have these kind of protections now. Illegal aliens have a right to dignity and as legal residents of Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala I wish them a safe journey home.
Do they get a safe space too, to go along with their free healthcare
Which subversive Jew came up with this anti-American law?
IllegalAlien IllegalAlien IllegalAlien
Doesn't the US Code refer to people who enter the US without pre-approval as 'illegal aliens'?
I used to think California wa the dumbest state in the US now I’m thinking New York!
Freedom of speech!
Is New York in America?
Now THIS is progress in action. New York is ahead of the curve
In NYC right now and I hope all illegals get deported thanks
I prefer border jumper anyways.
Alien 👽
Illegal alien, Illegal alien, Illegal alien, Illegal alien. Sticks and stones dorks.
We have the 1st amendment in America.
Riding the NYC subway many times on a recent trip, I again found subway cars full of good people. None made me even think 'illegal'. (Glad NYC makes demonstrations of hate 'illegal'.)
I’m not sure this would hold up against a constitutional challenge. While I wouldn’t use the language myself, being a jerk to someone and insulting them is protected speech.
I won’t use these words ever but this is unconstitutional and a terrible slippery slope.
Illegal alien
IllegalAliens IllegalAliens IllegalAliens DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica DemocratsHaveLostTheirDamnMinds FirstAmendment
😂😂😂😂😂 But allowing rapists, murderers, child traffickers is a-👌
What if you're just telling the truth ? What do cops call them vacation overstayers
This is just crazy!! Give me a break people!
Fascists regulate speech. Illegal alien
Illegal Alien's out of America. US citizens first. NeverVoteDemocrat
Twisted NYC, how that city has fallen thanks to the Dems.
F NY mayor. Illegal aliens don’t belong here until they enter legally. Pretty easy
Just a piece of legislative news, hm? Not as though such legislation would infringe on the first amendment. That would be the actual news. NBC is a mouthpiece for the multinational garbage who create this bullshit. They are a domestic enemy and should be treated as such.
The 1st amendment says differently
Illegal alien Illegal alien
New York City is regulating speech! How is this different than China? QAnon Somebody challenge this in court.
🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸
New York has suspended the 1st amendment .
Un believable
What’s wrong with aliens? Isn’t that discrimination? I like little green men.
They want our guns, now they want to tell us what to say. I’m opting out of that.
NYC is out of control
The first amendment is dying along with the second
Well so much for the Phil Collins song.🙄🐿
This is a great discussion starter
Words matter.
Imported Trash?
They are still here illegally, communism at its finest!
The true fascists are rearing their ugly heads.
Just more far left totalitarianism and word crimes. Nothing to see here. The fact that this fake news outlet isn’t screaming about this is also very telling.
So using the actual words written in the Federal Immigration law itself is now illegal? What a JOKE! This is 2019 not 1984! I will call them ILLEGAL ALIENS because that is what they are.
ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN ILLEGAL ALIEN !
Nuts! Seems that truth really is the first casualty.
These people are crazy vote them out
This is why the left flips out over every new supreme court appointment. All they can do is play make believe with their rights violating laws. The power hungry control freaks will have to wait decades now😁
Loonie libs.
Political correctness at it’s finest. Are there going to be speech police?
Brilliant move. By not calling illegal aliens by their name, they have disappeared!
So New York is taking away ppl 1st amendment rights? Can't wait for someone to sue the crap out of them. This is against the constitution. The ppl that agree with new york will one day and wake up and wonder what they have done.
JamieRJN Let's all say illegal alien 100 times ,ready folks .
Garbage. Pure garbage.
So New York is becoming a Nazi city
This is nuts. Notice that it still is okay to say Legal Alien. I guess that they had to make room to allow OfficialSting to sing this:
So. Woke.
Freedom of Speech says other wise!!
Curse words are next
The uninvite guest who every American citizen is paying their hard earned taxpaying dollars for is putting a drain on our system, putting our citizens in danger and causing a riff in the fiber of our everyday life
Why do people still live there?
$250K fine? What NewYorkDemocrats hurting for money? Would someone tell NYGovCuomo that he can't change FederalLaw or deny FirstAmendment to NewYorkCitizens it's an UnconstitutionalAct
scottdavisvegas How about the term INVADERS? That ok
When can we ban the term New York City as it is derogatory to the actual good people within other parts of the state?
notlegalpeople
... what country is New York in?
issok i call them occupying invaders
That is anti FreedomOfSpeech & Not Democratic 😡🙄🤦
When a state law is in direct conflict with federal law, the federal law prevails. A state law can afford more rights to its residents than federal law, but is not meant to reduce or restrict the rights of a U.S. citizen.
Since the human rights commission did not write the 1st amendment it's not a violation of law
That’s a first amendment violation. How do you judge intent Slippery slope.
They are illegals. Just like if one of us Americans crossed into their country we'd be considered illegals.
muh first amendment
Why? Are the aliens offended?
This will never hold up in court. Last I checked the legal term for an illegal immigrant is illegal alien. Apparently freedom of speech no longer exists in New York City.
Morons
Kek
Authoritarian as hell
Human rights used to be a tool against the state tyranny. Now they are means of it.
Honestly I don't like it when they use that phrase but come on now that's a bit too much now
And just how is this not against the first amendment? Who decides the intent.
I use the term often and it never has the intent to demean, humiliate or harass. It is simple the legally correct way of describing someone's immigration status.
I think that is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. They better get busy changing the government term. StopCuttingInLine LegalMigration
So, someone in the country illegally can’t be called an illegal? Based on that logic, what will the be calling murderers and rapists in NYC? Idiots.
Good!
Pretty sure I’d like to see them try to enforce that garbage...I’d be happy to be the first to take it all the way to USSupremeCourt
You can’t place all these restrictions on speech!
Hi, liberal checking in, this is blatantly unconstitutional and outright fascist. This won’t pass muster in court.
Heil.
Hate speech is free speech.
Another reason TO❤NY
Illegal immigrants need to be deported, fine me, we will take it to the supreme court and itll be an easy win for me, then ill sue you for 100m for my troubles
And now our 1st amendment rights - are they just going down the list in the constitution ✔️
That term came from officers (ice, police, border control, etc) though! 😄 They started it. So technically we are using professional official words. 👽 BuildTheWall
Well, you leftists agree with it.
Where is the Gulag? Buffalo?
Illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien
It’s impossible to put into words how simple an open and shut First Amendment case this is once someone is fined. PatrickBNichols
That's the statutory correct term. NYC needs to get a real mayor not NYCMayor. One to deal with REAL problems..🙄
New York City is a turd wrapped in hair on fire.
Last call for freedom of speech.
Someone remind New York that their crack epidemic ended in 1990
So telling the truth is now illegal in NY? Reminder: Any law that is unconstitutional is not a law and never was.
No more first amendment in New York? God help us if the Dems ever get full control of the government again.
What a time to be alive 🙄🙄🙄
THIS IS A DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST WAY TO TRY TO CONTROL IN A WAY THAT YOU TALK. SHAME ON YOU
1984
Supreme Court bound for sure.
What a ridiculously stupid world we live in now a days 🙄 To all the snowflakes out there, GROW A PAIR!!! 👊🏻
Illegal, illegal alien!!!! Now what?
Why do liberals have a problem with reality?
Why do Democrats care more about ILLEGAL ALIENS than our own citizens
That cannot possibly be legal. A person who is not a US citizen who enters the country illegally is an ILLEGAL ALIEN and has been so since the founding of the country.
Speech police
What if 45 says that in NYC are the police 👮 👮♀️ going to arrest him?
Sounds like the inmates are running the asymlum.
IIlegal alien. Come and get me.
FreeSpeech
Jews are afraid to walk the streets of NYC, but we need new laws...
They no longer have freedom of speech. So very sad....
Wow. Government overreach if ever there was. And I’m liberal
“Doublespeak” has arrived. Government should not be in the hurt feelings business. Good luck with the intent part. If you are here illegally, guess what you are.
Very Orwellian
GREAT JOB NEW YORK.
Wtf happened to the Italian MEN in this nation
Nonsense. Complete and utter nonsense. We have laws that must be obeyed and being here illegal makes you an illegal. Democrats just want free votes.
Illegal aliens.
Dear NEW YORK. Illegal Aliens. And I mean it offensively. Now where is my 250,000 dollar fine I'm ready to take you to the supreme court!
ILLEGALS
They cant enforce this. Americans can say whatever they want. Its called “ free speech”.
This might not turn out well. Being PC is one thing. Censorship is another.
Here we go... Turning the US into England with their offensive nonsense.
No problem, i could pay off a fine like that in 70 years easy. When are people in this country gonna rise up and throw out all these idiots from schools and office perpetuating this nonsense...
So Trump must stay away
I’d like to see which turd in NYC is dumb enough to try to enforce this steaming heap of Marxism.
I live in Texas. We don’t have that moronic rule We have a bunch of illegal aliens in my town. Most every one of the illegal aliens i bump into are wonderful. I see illegal aliens everyday.
My God liberal’s hate the 1st amendment.
Insanity.
You can say the N word, but not illegal alien? What is wrong with you liberal fools! WalkAwayFromDemocratSocialists RealCandaceO kanyewest
Who drafted this? The Committee to Re-elect Trump? WhyTrumpWon
Wonderful
Facts will always be facts. Illegal aliens will always be illegal criminals.
Such tolerant and constitutional upholding Libs 😂 IllegalAliens LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Liberal fascist like banning words! The true threat to freedom is the Democratic Party
👌🏼
Oooh my butt... it hurts.... that's all im reading here.
Illegal aliens need to be deported as prescribed by the law
Guess what? They...or anyone SHOULD feel bad about coming to this country and refusing to live under the law like everyone else. And Shame on anyone who wants to protect unlawful acts of ANY kind. Remove they both...with haste!
HAHAHAHA
Facts are hurting your feelings, how sweet
NBCLatino
White supremacists are now using this 👍🏻 symbol in place of the phrase illegal alien beware.
The left really wants 2 burn this country down doesn't it it's like they never read the constitution or the bill of rights every move they make violates it on so many levels.
This “law” is an infringement of the 1st Amendment rights of every American citizen that steps foot in New York City.
I use the words undocumented immigrant
If this is actually implemented, it will have a big impact on low-income people, but NY politicians rather virtue signal rather than fix issues.
I see a class action lawsuit in The works for violating citizen 1st amendment rights.
Now that is some authoritarian bullshit.
illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien illegal alien
IllegalAlien
Liberals are getting crazier by the day. Hide your children...and rabbits.
Did an illegal alien write this?
Is this real?
God, trump is in serious shit now. Does he, or his boys, have enough cash to pay all the potential fines they may be facing.
Well if you’re going to infringe our 2nd Amendment rights, why not the first?
Won’t survive in court.
Does the first amendment not apply to New York?
So what's the deal? There's no such thing as illegal immigration anymore? Does that mean that there are no longer immigtarion laws or border law enforcement? I'm confused.
When your grandchildren ask (quietly) how free speech died, point them to this example.
Actually the 1st amendment protects my right to say it...
What if it's used to describe an individual that comes into the US without proper identification and/or authorization?
That's ridiculous! As if 'illegal alien' is ever a compliment.
If the left wins the 're-education' camps will open within weeks.
If I was in NY I would intentionally use the term 1000x more frequently just to spit in the face of the leftist mob
Lol. Really!!
This is fine 🔥
LoL. How about this. All the Illegal Aliens in New York need to be jailed and Deported. Is that enough. MAGA
New York City = Hell hole
Good luck defining intent.
Free speech?
