Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz joins In Focus to talk about immigrant rights. Cruz is a Colombian-American attorney from the borough of Queens. As a member of the Democratic Party and a former undocumented immigrant, she has worked as an advocate for immigration rights.

Cruz goes one-on-one with Cheryl Wills about non-citizen voting as more than 800,000 noncitizens and “Dreamers” in the city will have access to the ballot box — and could vote in municipal elections as early as next year. She also discusses her fight for tenant protections, the end of the eviction moratorium and her Community Disaster Relief and Recovery Act to protect those from natural disasters like Hurricane Ida.

That’s not all — Cruz weighs in on the end of the indoor mask mandate for businesses and voices her support for the Elder Parole and Fair and Timely Parole of incarcerated people and their families.
