New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo granted clemency to 22 people on New Year’s Eve, all of whom will now benefit from some type of immigration-related relief, including being spared deportation. The governor also commuted the sentences of seven others.

Cuomo, a Democrat, took a swipe at President Donald Trump when announcing the pardons, saying the president is “waging a war on our border against immigrant communities.”
