This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The conflict of interest is so obvious that any attorney working for the government who takes these cases on should be harshly disciplined by their state bar.

11-yo Andrés lived with his dad in Texas—but was deemed “unaccompanied” by ICE and sent to foster care. “They’re kidnapping people’s kids and keeping them in government custody,” a former Biden official told us. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is now separating children from their parents and deeming them “unaccompanied.”

Text above the photo says Grohl “trolled Sen. Eric Schmitt’s humiliating performance questioning Jack Smith in a Senate hearing” by wearing the Iowa shirt during the Power to the People concert.

I understand the sentiment in passing such an ordinance but it will just mean many of these women won’t be allowed out of the house. At least with freedom of movement, they would be exposed to Spanish culture. Besides, in a few years we may all dress the same way to hide from AI surveillance.
