I biked my kids to school today and car traffic was worse than usual. I got asked directions on the subway three times on the way home driving out to Long Island today was horrendous. The #lirr strike is hardest on the working class and immigrants. Pay people a living wage and end the strike!

In light of ICE action in BK on Saturday, I'll point out that I and others have been loudly asking executive leaders & policymakers for almost a year about concrete, specific plans for heavy-handed ICE operations in NYC — particularly around NYPD — and gotten mostly vagaries. See this from last Sept
cityandstateny.com
If the federal crackdown comes to New York City
New York City has so far been spared the aggressive immigration enforcement that has rocked Los Angeles. The city is bracing for that to change.

ICE has been deporting pregnant and postpartum immigrants. Now we know how many.
The numbers offer the most detailed look at how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing people have been caught up in the immigration enforcement surge, despite federal policy discouraging the practice.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
