Mere hours after learning about the explicit quid pro quo re: Emil Bove and Eric Adams's counsel, NYT now reports that Adams "said he would allow immigration agents into the Rikers jail complex, a shift in the city's sanctuary policies."

If you wish to vote in New York City's mayoral Dem primary in JUNE (=the election that'll pretty much decide the next mayor), you must be registered as a Democrat *BY FRIDAY.*
An insanely early deadline bound to leave people vote out. At least make sure you're not one of them if you're interested!

I was born here to immigrant parents from Pakistan. When the #MuslimBan came down in 2017 I remember feeling the sting of "we don't like your kind."
This time there's no sting.
Because I fucking belong here and I'm not going anywhere. And I'll keep fighting for all aspiring Americans.

Today is a good day to focus on real people who suffer when #nativism and performative "toughness" are in fashion. Whether you're pro- or anti- #Trump, if #immigration is something you claim to care about then take time to listen to those affected.

Not Merely "Anecdotes"

Sens who vote for the #LakenRileyAct: next time ICE doesn't have resources to prevent an undoc. person with a serious criminal history (convictions) from committing a violent crime, your responsibility for forcing ICE to focus on MERE MINOR-THEFT ARRESTEES will be remembered.
