Happening NOW: New Yorkers Against ICE.

We’re at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has been ruthlessly kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th floor—where people are being inhumanely detained—and block ICE vans from leaving.

1/ At immigration court today, I watched the judge grant a young boy two years to finish his application. ICE agents grabbed him from his mother, put him in a freight elevator, and disappeared him.

I am calling on Gov Hochul to come here, see what is happening in her state, and

We need everyone to show up for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social so I made a quick video to explain why I’m standing with him and urging you all to rank Zohran first on your ballot!

Early voting ends Sunday! I want to see you at the polls!

We took the fight to the streets of Albany for the NY For All Act because our immigrant neighbors deserve safety, dignity, and the freedom to live without fear of ICE or police collaboration.

New York claims to be a sanctuary state. It's time our laws reflected that. ✊🏾💪🏾
