The death of Shacoby Kenny is not an isolated incident. It's part of an ongoing pattern of violence & neglect inside these facilities.

I join the call for:
✅ The immediate suspension of involved officers from Unit 3-4 and the SERT team
✅ An end to the cycle of state harm in Suffolk County

This ruling effectively means that incarcerating people based on race and ethnicity and w/o due process is constitutional. His story needs to be told now more than ever as the Trump administration continues to profile and detain people based on their race and ethnicity.

This is a community survey with disaggregated data AAPI views on healthcare, housing, & other political issues. For too long, researchers and others have not invested in counting, exploring and better understanding the place of APIA people in the state. So thrilled for this important step forward.
