"Our city cannot become complicit in Trump’s harmful tactics, and I’m proud to stand firmly with our partners in this legal fight.”

On our legal fight to prevent the mayor's latest attempt to aid the Trump deportation machine by inviting ICE onto Rikers: advocate.nyc.gov/press/nyc-pu...
NYC Public Advocate Joins Legal Groups In Amicus Brief Supporting Council Case To Block ICE From Rikers “The mayor has long looked for every opportunity to expand collaboration with ICE, attempting to make it more acceptable to chip away at protections and deport more immigrants, regardless of criminality or illegality.” “Rikers is in a constant state of crisis and human rights violations, and inviting ICE in only compounds that harm. This mayor has already demonstrated a willingness to ignore laws he doesn’t like, especially on Rikers, and this latest example is nothing more than an attempt to aid the Trump deportation machine. Our city cannot become complicit in Trump’s harmful tactics, and I’m proud to stand firmly with our partners in this legal fight.”
