What’s happening at 26 Federal Plaza is morally depraved and ICE is resorting to assaulting journalists to try to keep the public in the dark. We must shine a light on the shameful family separations and the inhumane immigrant detention taking place in our city. www.amny.com/immigration/...

Alexa Avilés laughs while holding a bullhorn, leading a march down 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. People marching alongside, smiling, holding signs that say things like "NYC [hearts] immigrants!!!" "We are all immigrants" "Immigrants are New York" and ICE Fuera!"

I’m grateful that action is being taken to address yesterday’s violence at 26 Federal Plaza.

When we insistently bear witness, there are limits to the cruelty people will support. Even Trump’s ICE can’t escape that indefinitely.

Today we passed Intro 621, the first bill in my #NoLockouts Act.

Illegal lockouts are harassment. With this bill, tenants can fight back and landlords will be held accountable!
