HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. This is a massive win for our communities in the fight against ICE. I’m proud to have worked alongside the incredible organizations like @Door_NYC who filed this case.

I am heartbroken to share that another one of our students was detained by ICE, while attending his immigration hearing. Our Project Open Arms team is standing with the student’s family, working closely to connect them with legal support and other critical services.

Yesterday's mayoral debate reference to old tweets and defunding reminded me of this one from September 2020 when parents & students had to march masked on the streets because Gov Cuomo DEFUNDED NY SCHOOLS thread #DoNotRankCuomo

🏫The NYC public school system is a marvel, serving nearly a million students and employing 130,000 teachers and staff. 🏫 But Andrew Cuomo fought time and again as governor to lower funding to NYC public schools. As mayor, he can’t be trusted to put students first 👇

At @UFT mayoral forum, @AndrewCuomo says he’ll “roll back” Tier 6 and revert the retirement age back to 55. He’d raised it to 63.

At #uftspring ed conference mayoral forum, @ZohranKMamdani says mayor should not have full control of the PEP. “We need a school system where decisions are not made on high, but include parents and educators,” he says.

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP why El Salvador continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with a crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”
Senator Chris Van Hollen is speaking live from El Salvador, where he just met with the Salvadoran VP about the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: youtube.com/live/pYZPzHyCtt0…

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
Trump: The supreme court, it was 9-0? Miller: In our favor, against the district court ruling, saying no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy

The Administration is blatantly defying the Supreme Court and the Rule of Law by refusing to bring home Kilmar Abrego García AND suggesting that American citizens should be deported to prisons in El Salvador. This is not what Democracy looks like.
Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Give Queens our money back! Lives are at risk.
Just days after a report warned NYC could lose 80K homes to flooding, the Trump admin slashed $300M in FEMA funds meant to protect Queens. This isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous. We’re fighting back with Sen. John Liu & .@Grace4NY to protect our communities.

Millions of students heading to college this fall depend on federal financial aid to pay for their degree. These are students studying to be nurses, teachers, business owners, and more. Our communities need their skills, and President Trump is making it even harder for them to pay for college.

We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.
Q: "You mentioned that you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens...Does that include U.S. citizens?" Trump: "If they're criminals...Yeah, that includes them...I'm all for it."

New York public schools having more spine and strength than multibillion dollar Ivy League institutions… makes perfect sense actually. 💪🏽

Make no mistake, consumers will pay the price for high tariffs. The Administration has yet to take a single action to lower costs on basic needs, and now we'll only see them rise. This trade war is reckless & hurts hardworking families the most.
