New York State Senator Liz Krueger, the Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, has proposed that New York State secede from the United States and join Canada as a new province in response to President-elect Donald Trump's planned immigration policies, including mass deportations. Krueger suggests that other northeastern states such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont join in seceding and forming part of Canada. She also proposes that New York could withhold its $360 billion in federal tax revenue to counter Trump's presidency.
