As chair of NYS Assembly Task Force on New Americans, it was great to start session with New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) to talk about what’s needed to protect & uplift immigrant communities. Unfortunately not everyone in the Capitol was so welcoming…advocates are ALWAYS welcome in the people’s house as far as I’m concerned.

ICARE will be proudly supporting this rally

Today, I led a rally alongside 30+ community organizations, unions, legal advocates, and my colleagues in the council to call on the Mayor to stand along side working class New Yorkers by following our Sanctuary City laws.

Under this presidential administration, we know our communities will continue to face threats that are an affront to our democracy and values. We are a city of immigrants. New York City Council will continue to protect New Yorkers with every tool at our disposal and support community

🚨 WE’RE IN ALBANY RIGHT NOW! Today, we’re fighting for a $165M investment in immigration legal services and the passage of the Access to Representation Act (ARA) and BUILD Act to protect immigrant families. 🗣️ No one should face deportation alone. Stand with us! #ARA

The federal gov terminated funding for legal services that protect unaccompanied kids in immigration court. Thousands now face deportation without an attorney. Our op-ed in City Limits explains why NY must step up. bit.ly/4iXbtfC

Last week, the Trump administration ordered a near-total shutdown of the Unaccompanied Children Program. As a result of this order, thousands of children, including many in #NewYork, will lose their legal counsel overnight. In the words of Sierra Kraft, executive director of the

"Liberty and justice are not just ideals but rights I will claim here in America. One day, I will stand alongside others who have walked a similar path, guiding them toward the safety and hope that I am still fighting to secure for myself." amny.com/opinion/immigr…

🚨 NY’s immigrant communities need us. Children are being forced to face immigration court alone. No lawyer. No support. We’re calling on Albany to invest $165M in legal services + pass the BUILD Act. Join ICARE for a call-in day this Fri, 4/11. Link in bio. #CARE4IF #BUILDAct

Immigrant children are going to court alone b/c the administration has cut off funding for representation of unaccompanied minors. This is absurd. NYS needs to fund legal representation in the budget! NYS Assembly Task Force on New Americans CWS ICARE Coalition New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) gothamist.com/news/4-year-ol…

Thank you, Sen. Cory Booker, for highlighting the urgent need for legal representation for unaccompanied children. The consequences of this funding loss cannot be overstated. It will have devastating effects on some of the most vulnerable.
