I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

New Yorkers: Do you have a form of immigration relief called withholding of removal? Have you received an ICE letter summoning you to 26 Federal Plaza? Here’s what  you can do:

1. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365, or call 311 and say "Immigration Legal" for free, confidential help in your native language.

2. Fill out our intake form to get help from the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative: nyc.gov/RRLC

3. Make a plan. Make sure you have an emergency contact and that someone you trust has your A-number. Talk to a lawyer before making any decisions.

Liza, one of our activists, lost family members to the Israeli government’s bombings during the genocide on Gaza– family whose faces are now on a wall of posters we put up in Jaffa to commemorate Palestinian children killed in Gaza.

Agreed - for different reasons, but a bit of a comfort blanket for me at times. The BBC in the last few years seems to have been on a course to rid itself of the things that made people support it.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Such poisonous nonsense, I can only speak from experience with west Yorkshire but I've never found this stuff to have any basis in truth whatsoever in relation to supposed no go areas in Batley or Dewsbury. It's wilful intellectual dishonesty to incite hate.
