With many unequivocally saying ICE is an agency terrorizing our communities, and that there’s no bounds to their violence, we need @NYCCouncil to say there's no justification for collaboration and to pass Intros 1077, 1078, and 209 to end NYC collusion with ICE #ICEOutNYC
After ICE shot a young father in Manhattan, New Yorkers asked the mayor to protect them from his police department and federal agents alike. theintercept.com/2026/10/09/…

#ICEOutNYC coalition statement on ICE shooting of Oscar Belgal: "We can close the gaps in NYC's sanctuary laws and protect New Yorkers from ICE. It's time to end the city's relationship with ICE - FULL STOP."
The horrific incident of ICE shooting Oscar Belgal in front of his son is difficult to put into words. But here's what isn't difficult to say: ICE is an agency that knows no bounds and has no regard for life or liberty. Abolish ICE now.

BREAKING: We are outraged by Governor Newsom's veto of the No Side Jobs for ICE Act, AB 1537 by Asm Isaac Bryan.
This veto leaves Californians completely in the dark.

IDP testified before @nyccouncil Committee on Immigration to address @NYCMayor's EO13. We welcomed the order's goals to protect NYers from abusive immigration enforcement practices, highlighted actions needed to make it meaningful, and urged for the passage the NYC Trust Act.
🚨The"Combating Organized Retail Crime Act" is a bill that would expand ICE's authority by creating a new "center" within ICE to work w/law enforcement agencies and to collect data from corporations' customers.

On top of misconduct settlements: “Increased NYPD policing increases the risk of ICE policing for noncitizens.” When an immigrant has an encounter w/ an officer for any reason, “their risk of getting later funneled into detentions, deportations, increases regardless of outcome.”
So far, settlement payouts under Mamdani are holdover cases. Without policy changes, however, they might keep growing toward a $1 billion total since 2018. theintercept.com/2026/09/16/…
