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 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

ICE agents act like an occupying army and eventually people are going to treat undercover ICE agents like they would treat commandos in civilian clothes.

Why Trump Is Targeting Green Card Path Used by Microsoft, Other Tech Firms
From the start of his second term, President Donald Trump has made it a top priority to restrict opportunities for non-Americans to gain entry or remain in the US. In the latest action on that front, his administration said on Oct. 8 that it would indefinitely suspend the ability of a number of technology companies, including Microsoft Corp., to sponsor foreign employees for permanent residency in the US.

An Austin American Statesman reporter was eventually let in, but under some truly bizarre parameters in which she was told she was not to behave like a “reporter.”
A tweet from journalist Faith Bugenhagen: got in but late and I’ve been told I’m not allowed to operate as a “reporter” in general admission and that the event was “private” but “open to the public” — I’m in the crowd now but was told to “respect my non press capacity” + not document anything inside

My favorite thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle donor texts scandal is that it has to be humiliating for her that it’s now public. And it’s got to sting to know that it must have been Eric Deters who leaked her messages instructing him to help her commit tax fraud and cover up the scheme.
