BREAKING: Following the killings of two innocent immigrant fathers, I co-authored a letter with @juliasalazar.bsky.social and @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and signed by 100+ NYS elected officials calling on Schumer, Jeffries, and all congressional Democrats to demand the abolition of ICE. 🧵 1/6

100+ elected officials from across New York State call on Minority Leaders Schumer and Jeffries and all congressional Democrats to: Abolish ICE

Read the full letter, led by State Assemblymember Diana Moreno, State Senator Julia Salazar, and New York City Councilmember Shahana Hanif

We are state and local elected officials who represent diverse constituencies throughout New York State, and have witnessed the impact that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s cruel operations have had on immigrant families and our communities.

The recent killings of two innocent immigrant fathers, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero—following the killings of Silverio Villegas González, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and many others by immigration enforcement—show ICE has no regard for public safety, due process, or human decency. Since Trump’s second term began, over fifty people have died in ICE custody, and ICE agents have repeatedly fired their weapons and killed people in their vehicles. ICE has continued to detain and deport thousands of New Yorkers who have contributed to our neighborhoods for decades— separating parents from their children and shipping off high school students. This is an unsustainable degree of impunity, cruelty, and recklessness that cannot be reformed.

While Trump has escalated ICE’s operations, this did not begin with him. Past administrations have been complicit in ICE’s growing abuse of power, and the agency’s cruelty will continue regardless of who sits in the White House. We applaud recent efforts by congressional Democrats to block funding to Trump’s ICE and Border Patrol, but we must go further. We can no longer ignore the threat that ICE, which has only existed since 2002, poses to our communities and to our democracy.

For the safety of our constituents and to restore public trust and the rule of law, we call on you and all congressional Democrats to publicly support the abolition of ICE and to leverage your positions to defund and dismantle this rogue federal agency.

Last night, after hearing moving public comment from Kingston workers and tenants calling for solutions to the housing crisis, the Kingston Common Council unanimously passed resolutions in support of Green Social Housing (PASHNY) and Rent Stabilization (REST)!

The image shows a group of about 25 people of varying ages gathered on the steps in front of a building with red and beige brickwork. They are smiling and holding a variety of signs advocating for social housing. The group is diverse, and they are showing enthusiasm with raised fists and animated expressions. The background includes a large, dark door and part of a window. The signs vary in color and content, displaying messages that support social housing and housing rights.

On Friday night, our members tabled at a @sarahana.bsky.social town hall on two critical initiatives to tackle the housing crisis: PASHNY (Permanently Affordable Social Housing for New Yorkers Act) and REST (Rent Emergency Stabilization for Tenants Act).

The image shows a group of five individuals standing behind a table displaying various signs and materials, likely at a community event or meeting. Three people in the center stand closely together, directly looking at the camera. They appear friendly and relaxed, with one person wearing a hat and holding a clipboard. Another person, to the left, is wearing a blue button-up shirt and is speaking, while another to the right in a printed t-shirt is slightly leaning forward. On the table are two white signs with bold text; one says, "HOMES FOR LIVING, NOT FOR PROFITS," and the other reads, "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE RICH TO LIVE IN THE HUDSON VALLEY." Additional materials and flyers are spread across the table. To the far right, a blue sign with white and red lettering states, "HOMES FOR LIVING! NOT for PROFIT." More people are visible in the background on the left side of the image, including a person in a high-visibility vest, partially out of frame.
