ABOLISH ICE. END NYPD VIOLENCE. 17 New York State Socialists in Office and Democratic nominees respond to Thursday’s shooting of Oscar Belgal and call to abolish ICE, end NYPD assistance of ICE, and disband NYPD’s SRG.

On Thursday, ICE agents in Upper Manhattan shot, wounded, and kidnapped Oscar Belgal. Wearing masks and construction vests, ICE fired seven rounds into a car, shooting Mr. Belgal in the neck while his 5-year-old child cried in terror. ICE then seized Mr. Belgal from NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital and sped away in an unmarked vehicle, while NYPD officers cleared a path and attacked protestors. Mr. Belgal’s whereabouts are unknown.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. ICE agents are a threat to public safety, due process, and the rule of law. There is no reforming this degree of lawlessness and cruelty. We reiterate our demand for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and all congressional Democrats to publicly support the abolition of ICE and work to defund and dismantle this fascist agency.

New Yorkers bravely stood up against ICE’s attacks on immigrants last night, only to be obstructed and assaulted by NYPD officers. Jessica Tisch must end police assistance for ICE operations and disband NYPD’s Strategic Response Group—and if she won’t, she must be fired. Additionally, the New York City Council must pass the CURB Act (Int. 796 / Ossé) to ban all of SRG’s abusive practices.

As Socialists in Office, we are committed to strengthening New York’s laws to end all collaboration with ICE once and for all. That includes the State passing New York For All and the Safe Access to Care Act (A11537 / Forrest) to protect hospitals and healthcare workers from ICE. ICE out of New York now!

Expansion will be phased. 1) foster/cali/Pershing (6 months to implementation) 2) Devon/Pulaski/51st (+6 months) 3) city wide (+1 more year) They breakdown the amount of bus lanes/bike lanes each phase will bring enforcement to and folks. We barely have any bus lanes

My alder, @andrefor40th.bsky.social is introducing the smart streets expansion. Tells the story of a 2 year old biking with their parents, navigating around a car parked and blocking the bike lane, and being hot and killed, which led to the initial smart streets program.

"Commute times dropped by as much as 23 percent because [catenary] electric trains accelerate so much faster" Performance gains from electrifying trains too often get second billing. We should ensure that battery trains can reliably deliver similar improvements to catenary.
