Congressman for New York's 10th District in the House of Representatives
School is back after a nice, long New York summer. It was a pleasure to greet parents and kids on the first day of school at PS 89 with District 1 Superintendent Kelly McGuire. I wish all 900,000+ NYC public school students a great year.
Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. This memorial ensures their legacy endures.
Honored to join @governor.ny.gov and the Port Authority today at the dedication of a powerful new memorial to the Port Authority employees who lost their lives in the World Trade Center attacks of 1993 and 2001.
I’ve been doing regular oversight at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. When I started, immigrant detainees were denied showers, medicine, and regular phone calls.
Trump has made it no secret that he will attempt to rig the 2026 midterms. Today, I'm introducing legislation with Rep. Yassamin Ansari to stop him.
But ICE wants NY to use our limited criminal law enforcement officers to help them round up immigrants who have committed no crimes. If Homan follows through with this desperate federal overreach, my office & our coalition will be on the ground to fight back. New Yorkers will not be intimidated.
. @icegov.bsky.social thought they could get away with breaking the law in broad daylight today. They were wrong. This morning, I confronted ICE agents outside an immigration court room to remind them that they are prohibited from arresting anyone who appears as required at immigration court. (1/4)
This smells like blatant & criminal insider trading. Even worse, Trump is profiting off of his illegal deportation dragnet. Since we know Republicans will pretend like they never saw this & won’t do a thing, anyone involved in these trades should preserve records for my investigation in Jan 2027.
Five months ago, Allan Dabrio Marrero was detained by ICE during a routine green card interview and transferred across multiple states. Today, through the assistance of my office’s triage center, we welcomed him back home.
Palantir’s manifesto confirms our worst fears: the company running our surveillance state is fueled by dangerous prejudice.
@wyden.senate.gov @velazquez.house.gov & I are demanding answers from DHS & ICE to reveal how this data is being used & on whom. There must be proper oversight of these tools.
As the World Cup comes to NY and NJ, fans are being asked to pay $150 roundtrip just to get to MetLife Stadium. That’s more than a 1000% increase on typical fares. FIFA is getting $11 BILLION in revenue from the World Cup — they can cover the $48 million for transportation to and from MetLife.
DOJ's release of the Epstein files still does not comply with the law. But even without the full release, we see why Trump has been so determined to cover them up: he’s all over them, including allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls. Will Rs continue to support an apparent pedophile?
I am hereby calling on Press Secretary Leavitt to stop blatantly lying to the American people. A mother of three who is now dead very clearly backed up and turned the wheel to get away from an ICE officer illegally trying to open her car. There must be an independent investigation.
An ICE officer murdered a woman in cold blood who was clearly trying to drive away. And yet Tricia McLaughlin and Stephen Miller are speciously trying to blame the victim. ICE must be reined in and the officer must be held to account.
As Ahmed Al Ahmed so clearly showed, when Republicans target and threaten Muslims simply for being Muslim, they abandon our core values and fuel hate and violence. This dangerous and baseless Islamophobia has no place in our country, particularly from our elected leaders.
SCOTUS–packed with Trump-appointed conservatives-greenlit a $783M cut to biomedical research simply because it’s loosely tied to some bogus definition of DEI. The GOP is deliberately blocking life-saving innovation and treatments at the altar of white victimhood, and now all Americans will suffer.
ICE isn't targeting criminals. They’re arresting nonviolent, law-abiding mothers, fathers, and kids, tearing families apart. Asylum is a legal path to immigration, but Trump is voiding asylum claims so masked ICE officers can meet mass deportation quotas. This is not the America I know.
