Exclusive | NY businesses could lose gov’t contracts if they don’t disclose work with ICE under new bill

Do business with ICE, get iced out.

A New York Democrat wants to bar businesses from scoring any city or state contracts if they don’t disclose work with ICE, The Post has learned.

The original bill pushed by Assemblywoman Grace Lee (D-Manhattan) had simply required businesses to provide the state copies of contracts cut with the immigration enforcement agency.

But Lee quickly amended the proposed “ICE Contract Transparency Act” on Thursday to include a harsh penalty — debarment, meaning a cut off from government contracts — amid a growing furor over an agreement allowing ICE officers to park at Pier 40 along the Hudson River.

“ICE has become a four-letter word for many New Yorkers,” Lee exclusively told The Post.

“If any company is doing business with ICE, especially those in any way helping support (President) Trump’s mass deportation and degradation agenda against immigrants, New Yorkers deserve to know. If those companies fail to come clean they should be disqualified from benefiting from any contract that involves taxpayer funding.”

The measure rides a raft of anti-ICE moves by Empire State Democrats outraged by the often-brutal — and deadly — actions by immigration agents carrying out Trump’s crackdown.

Scores of New Yorkers, including lefty actress Susan Sarandon, protested ICE in Union Square during January, demanding the agency leave the city.

Trump’s texting buddy Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who signed a performative executive order for New York City to uphold sanctuary policies, personally lobbied the president to release ICE detainees.

State Democratic leaders likewise signed onto a supporting legislation to make New York a sanctuary state, while Gov. Kathy Hochul warned Trump’s border czar Tom Homan that she doesn’t want to see ICE expand its presence in the state.

Lee’s move to amend her bill followed a protest Tuesday night over ICE agents parking cars at Pier 40, as well as a high-profile crackdown along Canal Street in Chinatown.

The protesters demanded Hudson River Park Trust board members cancel a contract with the Department of Homeland Security that sets aside parking spaces for vehicles used in immigration enforcement, NY1 reported.

The contract is up in June without plans for renewal, but the protesters want ICE gone beforehand, according to the report.

The debarment penalty in Lee’s bill would mean companies that are found to be hiding their work with ICE can’t get state or city government contracts, including with New York City.
