Our city faces an unprecedented crisis. Federal immigration enforcement has escalated to alarming levels. New Yorkers are being torn from their communities.
ICE raids are turning NYC's streets into zones of fear. Courthouses, once symbols of justice, now witness violent captures. What we've seen in Chicago, LA and DC will happen in our beloved city soon — unless we act, and fast.
This federal campaign of terrorism targets our newest neighbors. But New York has always been a city of refuge. We must act now.
