It’s time for @nyccouncil to send a clear message that our city will not be a pipeline to detention + deportation. We need to get #ICEOutNYC now by passing 3 bills: Intros 184, 185, and 158 to stop the collusion and create a way for those harmed by violations to seek justice.
ALT Explanation of What the three bills do: Intro 185: Limit communication between the NYC Department of Correction (DOC) and ICE. Into 184: Limit the New York Police Department's (NYPD) ability to hold people on immigration detainers. Intro 158: Create a way for immigrant New Yorkers harmed by violations of the detainer laws to seek justice.

For yrs we’ve tracked how NYC flouted existing detainer laws and continued to funnel pple into the hands of ICE. Today @immdefense and @Bajitweet released emails between NY Dept of Correction and ICE showing deep collusion. Full statement + memo: immigrantdefenseproject.org/…
ALT Text reads: Just released: Immigrant Defense Project and Black Alliance for Just Immigration release emails and summarizing memo showing clear collusion between the NYC Department of Corrections and ICE

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live. Thousands of families in Southern Towers are being displaced because of #CIMGroup’s exploitative housing practices. We must protect tenants’ rights and #ACT4SouthernTowers!

E-mails obtained by @IDP and @BAJItweet + ongoing testimony from community members leaves no doubt: NYC has a culture of colluding with ICE to detain + deport immigrant New Yorkers. It’s time to get #ICEoutNYC and pass the 3 bills before the Council NOW! bit.ly/3k9SHc5
Thank you @CMShahanaHanif @CarlinaRivera and @KeithPowersNYC for supporting #ICEoutNYC. Local law enforcement has no place serving as another arm of the immigration policing regime and we look forward to working together to strengthen the 3 bills to keep our communities safe.

@GovKathyHochul's pick of Judge LaSalle is anti-immigrant, make no mistake. His record shows disdain for immigrants and youth, and he rejects due process rights critical to safeguarding from ICE arrest. State Senators who stand for true immigrant justice must say NO to LaSalle.
CALL TO ACTION: Call, email, and tweet at your senator *today* to tell them: VOTE NO ON LASALLE.
See the thread below to learn if your senator has already announced their opposition. If they have, thank them. If they haven't, demand they do so TODAY.

The U.S. must follow through on its commitment to building a humane and working immigration system, beginning with redesignating & extending #TPS4Haiti. Learn more: fwd.us/news/temporary-protec…

The situation in Haiti is increasingly dire, with violence, instability, & famine forcibly displacing thousands from their homes. Redesignating & extending #TPS4Haiti is critical to providing safety and stability for vital members of American communities.

NEW @FWDus blog looks at how multiple humanitarian crises make it impossible for Haitians to return to their home country safely. The U.S. must redesignate & extend #TPS4Haiti in order to help save lives & keep families together. #DefendBlackImmigrants fwd.us/news/temporary-protec…
Now more than ever, our communities deserve safety and stability. On this 8th year anniversary of NYC’s detainer laws, @NYCCouncil has the opportunity do more with 3 bills to restrict the City from conspiring with #ICE. We need #ICEOutNYC

NYC shouldn’t be acting as immigration police. #ICEOutNYC is fighting for 3 crucial bills to end the city’s police-to-deportation pipeline. Here’s how: immigrantdefenseproject.org/…
On this 8th anniversary of NYC’s detainer laws, we’re fighting for 3 bills to limit the city from conspiring with #ICE:
✅Ensure the City complies with detainer laws
✅Limit DOC from communicating with ICE
✅Limit NYPD’s ability to hold a person for ICE

8 years ago today advocates fought for and won detainer laws to limit NYC from conspiring with ICE. Now, ICE Out! NYC is fighting for 3 key bills to further restrict the City from funneling people into ICE custody.

With the leadership of @CMShahanaHanif, @KeithPowersNYC, and @CMCarlinaRivera, the Council’s Immigration and Criminal Justice Committees must hold a hearing on these bills. Our communities can't wait. /End
