Using the terms “illegal alien' or 'illegals' with 'intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person' in New York City is against the law and can result in fines as high as $250,000, according to new guidance from the city's Commission on Human Rights.
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.
