NYers deserve to go about their lives without fear of racial profiling. ICE agents operating in NY are accused of lying, lacking proper training and fabricating records to cover up illegal arrests—by a Trump appointed judge, no less! ICE out of NY.

Of the 40K ICE arrests in NY and NJ, over 2K occurred in Queens, where roughly half of residents are immigrants. This targeted attack on immigrant NYers must end. ICE must be abolished.

Immigrants have spent decades building and uplifting New York's communities. ICE has started targeting longtime female immigrant NYers for third-country deportation. ALL immigrants, regardless of their status, deserve protection!

"The Trump Admin has continued to escalate against Immigrant New Yorkers and under the guise that this is about safety and security. When it's never been about safety and security. It's been about cruelty." @heyitsmurad.bsky.social

A federal judge has blocked ICE from making arrests at immigration courthouses in New York.

Immigrant New Yorkers should be able to walk into court without fear of ICE.

ICE came to Oswego to take our neighbors. But the community fought back.

This is what we do when our neighbors are under attack. #StandUpFightBack ✊🏽

Trump’s Census Bureau wants to change who gets counted, how immigration status is used, and what demographic info is collected. We must stand up to protect our Congressional representation and preserve funding for our communities! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Take action by Oct 13: bit.ly/census-comment

Family separation is an inexcusable cruelty forced upon our immigrant neighbors. Families must be reunited, detention centers must be closed, and ICE must be abolished.

Trump argues that a centralized voter database will help the government work more effectively. In reality, it will only isolate eligible immigrant voters further and continue to threaten the freedom of democratic elections!

ICE continues to tear apart families across New York. Carlos Arreaga was finally released from 3 months of unconstitutionalized detention to be reunited with his wife and daughter. Trump's immigration crackdown must end here 🛑 #ABOLISHICE

No one should be held in conditions like this. Shut down this inhumane detention center NOW.

ICE shot Wilber in the back in Austin Texas. He is now in ICE's custody and facing deportation, after his wife and attorney were denied the ability to see him in the hospital. He deserves to be free, with his loved ones, and getting the medical attention he deserves! Free Wilber, Free Them All!

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a Venezuelan immigrant, was shot by ICE this weekend. Wilber has been added to the list of over 20 people who have been fired on by ICE since January 2025. How many more shootings before action is taken and justice is served?
