My grandmother lived through the liberation of Paris. No matter how I asked what it was like when the Americans arrived, her answer never changed: “They saved us.” Whatever the political moment – I hope we never forget what that meant.

Listening to @camillemackler.bsky.social presenting on legal and social infrastructure - making the excellent point that NYC has responded with money, but not with building permanent structures that can adapt to changes in arrival flows. @gc-migration.bsky.social

The Form of Investment Is the Problem
"The city that has invested substantially in immigration services while arriving repeatedly at the next crisis without the systems needed to absorb it."
01
Moment-Specific Funding
Calibrated to a particular population or political window - cannot flex when circumstances change. Answers the question of the moment without building systems for the next one.
02
Fiscal Cycle Pressure
Budget cycles reward visible, immediate action. The payoff from systems investment extends beyond a single budget year - creating structural disincentives for Infrastructure.
03
Political Incentives
Pressure for short-term visible action, reluctance to invest in systems whose impact is harder to see. Response satisfies; infrastructure requires a longer argument.

This is why we need reform of ICE, of DHS. B/c in the current system - w/limited oversight and virtually no accountability - ICE is being used as a private army to further political and individual goals, same as paramilitary organizations in authoritarian countries. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, 41, served alongside U.S. Army Special Forces in Afghanistan beginning in 2005. He was arrested by ICE on March 13, 2026, in front of his children. Less than 24 hours later, he was dead. This is his story, and why it matters. 🧵

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Trust is infrastructure. One of the most consequential immigration decisions is happening close to home these days, where local leaders are deciding how closely to align with federal enforcement. New piece on what local leaders need to ask right now. camillemackler.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

None of this addresses the fact that most people arrested by ICE in the last year dont have criminal records, those that do aren’t often for violent crimes, and a “criminal record” is rarely a black-and-white assessment of someone’s behavior in their community. www.axios.com/2026/03/10/w...

Stunning reporting by @wsj.com about many people have been unjustly accused of publicly attacking DHS officers, how most are US citizens, and the financial, reputational, and emotional cost. The WSJ “found that the [DHS], created in 2002 to protect Americans, has turned its force against citizens.”
