...the little boy thankfully oblivious to ICE's cruelty and their detention of his father inside.
Sadly, many children aren't spared the trauma of watching as ICE takes their parents away from them.

...so we asked them to allow me to escort the mother and son out first, ensuring that the little boy wouldn't have to watch ICE take his father away.
I walked the mother and boy out of the building as we used a live translation app to communicate to each other in English and Russian...

As we walked out of the courtroom together, masked ICE agents confronted us, blocking the doorway.
The agents told the father to come with them, insisting on taking him away without any justification.
It quickly became clear that we couldn't prevent the agents from detaining the father...

I witnessed one particularly disturbing encounter with ICE while I was escorting a family out of their court hearing this morning.
The family was a Russian-speaking couple with their young son, who appeared to be only about 4 years old.
The judge had just set their trial date for 2029.

In my individual capacity, I also urge voters to rank @zellnor.bsky.social on your ballot.
Supporting these four candidates and strategically using Ranked Choice Voting is essential for our city to defeat Cuomo, and elect a mayor who we can hold accountable to fight for working people.

Our prime sponsors @juliasalazar.bsky.social and @emilyassembly.bsky.social explain how important it is for this bill to pass. Without it, New Yorker’s lives are in danger within this failing system!

Every person of conscience should demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil and condemn this clear violation of his constitutional rights.
And if a misguided allegiance to the state of Israel prevents you from speaking up unequivocally against Mahmoud's abduction and detention, that is shameful.

We encounter many issues in the state legislature that are truly complex and can't be simplified as two-sided. But defending our people from the federal government's attacks is not one of those issues.
This is about standing on the side of justice and fighting back against hate and oppression.
