NY state Senate approves doctor-assisted suicide bill, sends it to Hochul's desk for approval

ALBANY – State Senate Democrats passed highly controversial legislation that would allow terminally ill people to take their own lives with the help of doctors in a razor-thin vote Monday — leaving it up to Gov. Kathy Hochul whether to sign it into law. 'This is one of the great social reforms of our state,' state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan), the bill's sponsor in the upper chamber, touted at a press conference earlier in the day Monday — putting the measure on the same tier as the legalization of gay marriage. 'This is about personal autonomy, this is about liberty, this is about exercising one's own freedom to control one's body,' Hoylman-Sigal continued. 3 The 'Medical Aid in Dying Act' passed the state senate Monday evening, meaning it only needs Gov. Kathy Hochul's signature to become law. Vaughn Golden The measure passed 35 to 27, with six Democrats – Senators April Baskin, Siela Bynoe, Cordelle Cleare, Monica Martinez, Roxanne Persaud, and Sam Sutton – voting against it. 'The governor will review the legislation,' a spokesperson for Hochul said. The bill's passage follows a years-long campaign that was fought tooth and nail by a diverse group of critics, including disability rights activists and the Catholic church, as well as many black and Orthodox Jewish communities. 'The Governor still has the opportunity to uphold New York's commitment to suicide prevention, protect vulnerable communities, and affirm that every life—regardless of disability, age, or diagnosis—is worthy of care, dignity, and protection,' The New York Alliance Against Assisted Suicide wrote in a statement following the vote. A Catholic group slammed the bill's passing as 'a dark day for New York' and also called on Hochul to refuse to sign it. 'For the first time in its history, New York is on the verge of authorizing doctors to help their patients commit suicide. Make no mistake – this is only the beginning, and the only person standing between New York and the assisted suicide nightmare unfolding in Canada is Governor Hochul,' Dennis Poust, Executive Director of the New York State Catholic Conference, wrote in a statement. 3 The state Senate voted 35-27 Monday night to legalize physician-assisted suicide for people with terminal illnesses. AP Ahead of the vote, the nearly three-hour debate on the Senate floor got emotional, with several lawmakers holding back tears as they explained their votes. Syracuse-area state Sen. Rachel May (D-Onondaga) shared the story of her late husband, who was receiving morphine in the final stages of his battle with cancer, which he eventually succumbed to at 32 years old. 'I don't know if the last largest dose he took also took his life, but I know that he died in peace,' May said. 'It isn't about controlling the disease or controlling the pain, it's about having control at the end of your life,' she said before voting in favor. Critics fear the legislation lacks critical safeguards over how doctors approve patients looking to receive the prescription for a lethal cocktail of drugs, such as a statutory waiting period, establishing clear chain of custody for the pills, mandating the doctor and recipient meet in-person, and requiring a disclosure that someone indeed used the drugs to take their own life. Under the bill, recipients would need approval from two doctors and a sign-off from two independent witnesses, after which they would receive a prescription for drugs they could use to take their life at a time of their choosing. 3 Gov. Kathy Hochul has not signaled whether she will sign the assisted suicide bill. Lev Radin/ZUMA / Doctors also do not have to conduct a mental health screening for each patient, but may refer a patient for one under the legislation. 'I don't think requesting end-of-life medication when an individual is suffering and in pain and dying suggests a mental health condition, if anything, I think it's quite rational,' Hoylman-Sigal said. Hoylman vowed the bill would not lead to such 'unintended consequences.' 'It was a professional organization that provided us crucial guidance, that helped us develop the state-of-the-art safeguards in this legislation that gave my colleagues and the general public, I believe, the assurance that there will not be unintended consequences,' he said. The legislation is referred to by its supporters as the 'Medical Aid in Dying' bill. 'The option of medical aid in dying provides comfort, allowing those who are dying to live their time more fully and peacefully until the end. I am profoundly grateful to Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins for giving her conference the space to have this important and emotional discussion,' Corinne Carey, Senior Campaign Director of Compassion and Choices, the main group driving the effort to pass the bill, wrote in a statement.

Live Blog: ICE protest at Texas Capitol

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A large crowd of people gathered at the Texas Capitol in Austin on Monday in solidarity with those protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions in Los Angeles, according to organizers. A flyer posted to Instagram invited people to 'say 'ICE out of our cities! Stop the deportations!'' starting at 7 p.m. The post, from the Austin-area anti-capitalism group Party for Socialism and Liberation, was posted Sunday and called for an 'emergency protest.' Since Friday, thousands have taken to the streets in Los Angeles to protest after ICE agents arrested immigrants at a number of places in the city, as well as the deployment of National Guard troops in response to initial protests, according to the Associated Press. 8:30 p.m.: Law enforcement has started to pepper-spray protesters in the street on 9th and Congress. 8:27 p.m.: The crowd is now splitting into two groups. One group is walking again in the street. Another group is sticking around the Capitol. Our crew at the protest said the people in the street will get one more warning before being arrested. 8:21 p.m.: Law enforcement got on megaphones to tell people to move to the sidewalks because streets were opening back up. Some protesters are not obeying and yelling obscenities at law enforcement. 8:16 p.m.: The march is back at the Capitol grounds, and with the grounds closed, the crowd is gathering outside the gate. DPS has closed the intersection of 11th and Congress. The crowd is chanting, 'No more ICE!' 8:06 p.m.: The crowd is moving away from the federal building and is on Congress Avenue headed back toward the Capitol. 8 p.m.: According to an Austin Police Department post on X, the planned route of the march is as follows: South on Congress Ave. to 7th St. 7th St. to Trinity North on Trinity to 8th St. 8th St. back to Congress Ave. North on Congress Ave. to the Capitol The post said if you're driving in the area to be aware of the crowd. 7:57 p.m.: The march has stopped outside the federal building on 8th and San Jacinto. The crowd is now chanting, 'Whose streets? Our streets.' 7:54 p.m.: The march is turning on Trinity Street back toward the Capitol grounds. Texas DPS plans to have the grounds 'cleared and closed' at 8 p.m. 7:45 p.m.: 'The people, united, will never be defeated,' is the chant now. The group is walking down Congress Avenue. 7:38 p.m.: The crowd is beginning to march and is in the area of 11th and Congress. They are chanting, 'We will not put up with ICE. Say it once, say it twice.' 7:25 p.m.: KXAN's Grace Reader spoke with one of the people at the protest and said she decided to show up because she saw 'what was going on in Los Angeles,' and was 'very scared and upset about what our President is doing and using his power to turn the military against us.' 'They're on a hairpin trigger out there, and anything can set it off,' 67-year-old Lynn Tozser said. 'I don't want that to happen.' 7:10 p.m.: A unit of the DPS mounted patrol arrives at the Capitol grounds. Protest leaders said they do intend to march at some point. 7:05 p.m.: Protest leaders went over ground rules for the protest and told the crowd not to engage with 'instigators' or law enforcement. It appeared that Texas DPS troopers on bikes led someone who appeared to be counter-protesting away from the crowd. It didn't appear that DPS arrested the individual, at least from what the KXAN crew could see. 7 p.m.: KXAN has a crew at the Capitol grounds. The protest was scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with 'dozens' of people there, but more were rapidly joining the protest. Texas DPS said the Capitol grounds will be 'cleared and closed' at 8 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trump Mobilizes Marines, Escalating Los Angeles Conflict

Donald Trump is mobilizing hundreds of Marines who could be deployed to the streets of Los Angeles in a move to quell unrest sparked by his order over the weekend to federalize and deploy National Guard troops to the region, ostensibly to thwart protests against his deportation mobilization of hundreds of Marines has been reported by numerous outlets, including CNN and The Wall Street Journal. The move marks a dangerous escalation, in which the commander-in-chief is is threatening to dispatch the nation's military in an effort to crack down on dissent over the arrest and detention of undocumented Los Angeles-area residents by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. Protests against ICE were sparked by federal efforts to round up undocumented workers in both downtown L.A. and the neighboring city of Paramount. Chaotic confrontations over the weekend saw demonstrators shutting down freeways in protest. Both police and federal agents fired tear gas and less-lethal projectiles into the crowds. Some violent agitators have been seen throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles. As many as 700 Marines could reportedly be moving into Los Angeles as soon as Monday evening, from a battalion stationed at the nearby military base in Twentynine Palms, California. It is unclear what legal authority Trump would invoke to justify this deployment of active-duty military forces on American soil — a rare move in American history. Early reports suggest the troops would not engage directly with protesters, and would operate under U.S. Northern Command. The deployment comes just days after Trump called up 2,000 members of the California National Guard to the streets of Los Angeles — over the objections of the state's governor, Gavin Newsom. (These troops were deployed without providing for their accomodation, leading many to reportedly sleep on concrete floors.) The state announced Monday that it is filing a lawsuit, seeking to have Trump's commandeering of the state National Guard declared an 'unlawful action.' In a press conference, state Attorney General Rob Bonta called Trump's escalation 'unnecessary' and 'counter productive,' describing how it stoked new unrest in streets that local police and sheriff deputies had successfully calmed prior to his militarization. Trump, meanwhile, has portrayed Los Angeles as a lawless hellscape that he 'liberated' by ordering the National Guard to respond to the protests. The president claimed on Monday that the city would have been 'completely obliterated' if he hadn't taken action. Newsom and Bonta are among the local officials to slam Trump for exacerbating the unrest. Trump told reporters on Monday that it would be 'great' if his administration arrested the California governor. This is a developing story and will be updated.
