LDF stands with our partner @gangscoalition.bsky.social to condemn the ICE shooting of Oscar Belgal. New Yorkers are having their rights violated under the pretext that they are “gang-affiliated.” Abolish ICE and abolish the NYPD gang database! Read the statement by The G.A.N.G.S. Coalition here:

Our hearts are with the person shot by ICE in the Bronx, their loved ones, and the community impacted. We stand with @handsoffnyc.bsky.social in demanding accountability and affirming that our communities deserve safety, dignity, and care, not fear or violence. People over fear. Solidarity always.

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Attica Uprising. Legal Aid established its Prisoners’ Rights Project in September 1971. Days later, a rebellion of incarcerated men erupted at Attica State Prison in protest of persistent violence, cruelty, and racism.

“As ICE continues to ramp up enforcement tactics and spread fear among immigrant NYers, ending these agreements sends a powerful message that NY will not allow its local police to be used as an extension of Trump’s mass deportation agenda.” @heyitsmurad.bsky.social queenseagle.com/all/2026/8/2...

We’re grateful to the NYC Progressive Caucus for standing with us to abolish the gangs database and making its abolition a legislative priority. This database has caused real harm to our communities, and we’re proud to see elected leaders join the call to end it. #abolishthegangsdatabase

We’re in Albany today fighting for every family that now has an empty space at the dinner table. For every NYer ripped from their family. For every family afraid that a traffic stop could lead to permanent separation from their loved ones. Enough is enough. Lawmakers must pass #NY4All now.
