Due to federal budget cuts, PBS News had to make the difficult decision to rework our staffing and programming.

This Sunday, our PBS News Weekend team will sign off the air.

Just asked RUBEN GALLEGO three times point blank why he said minors and DACA are protected by Laken Riley Act.

Nothing.

"Did you actually *read* the bill before cosponsoring?"

Nothing.

[Aura Bogado @aurabogado]

It’s going to take a lot of technology to carry out the mass deportations that Trump has consistently promised.

[Ximena @Ximena_Bustillo]

A new memo from ICE circulating on the Hill emphasizes the Laken Riley Act is “impossible to execute with existing resources.”

New #’s put the need for beds at over 100k & costs over $26 billion.
They say prior estimates were outdated & didn’t count for all crimes in the bill

Know before you go:

🎒 You do NOT have to consent to have your bag searched
🚆 However, you'll likely be denied entry to that specific subway station if you refuse
🤳 You have the right to film public police activity so long as you don't interfere

🚨 Urgent Update 🚨

Workers are on strike right now! 💪✊

I stand in solidarity with Jardin employees who are fighting for fair wages, health insurance, and dignity in the workplace. https://t.co/Ymhf5fgeyA #WorkersRights #FairWages #Solidarity #Strike #SupportOurWorkers

[32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 @32BJSEIU]

STRIKE ALERT: Today at 7AM workers at luxury Jardim condo on 527 West 27th St. went out on a 24-hour strike to protest their employer’s unilateral cancellation of workers’ health insurance in the midst of bargaining a first union contract at the building.

"No sensible New Yorker should believe for a moment that a stream of migrants — despite the daunting financial and logistical issues involved in giving them food and shelter, as required by law — can literally destroy our city."

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

Saying that migrants from all over the world arriving here “will destroy New York City” is repugnant MAGA garbage.

10K a month? In 1907, that many came in a *day* — and it MADE this city.

Let’s drop this demagoguery and invest in welcoming asylum seekers and getting them work.

Major pivot from "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

[David Brand @DavidFBrand]

From Jan to Sept last year, NYC rejected 2/3 of the 50,585 applications it received for One-Shot Deal payments to cover rent arrears

That’s roughly double the denial rate from 2018

For @Gothamist @WNYC

[Matt Katz @mattkatz00]

Tried to put $5 into my account so an incarcerated person at a NJ jail could call me. The company that runs the phones, @ViaPathTech, charged me $8.25 -- more than 50% in fees.

Unlike in NYC, calls from NJ prisons/jails cost $. There's a bill to make them free, but it's stalled.

The kid who got Affirmative Action overturned (Calvin Yang) cuz he was mad he didn’t get into Harvard was a Fridays for Future & Youth Climate Strike organizer, led Students for Michael Bloomberg, worked for the Green Party & is now a member of the Canadian Conservative Party 💀

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

“Vote harder” is not a response to how the white establishment overrides popular will & deploys police to assault protesters

[Chris Gelardi @chrisgelardi]

New York's institutionalist prison chief retired amid inquiries into widespread abuse, cruelty, fraud, and illegality.

Who took over? His number two: the eldest son of a prison dynasty, whose siblings fill several of the system's executive offices.

You + your spouse see your dream home on the market.

Y’all have saved every dime for years, secured a mortgage approval, borrowed money from relatives. You put in an offer—only to lose to a cash buyer.

This is a real problem: cash buyers make up 40% of NYC homebuyers

@Taniaaaaa @BronxDefenders We’re now opening up the conversation for community members to share experiences and raise questions about ICE detention in New York State

[The City Reporter @THECITYNY]

The scathing report from Monitor Steve Martin — the third in three weeks — questioned how Correction Commissioner Louis Molina could determine there was no wrongdoing as a team of correction officers tackled a shackled detainee on May 11.

Retweeting for when people ask how is this mayor has used people seeking asylum as scapegoats

[katie honan @katie_honan]

.⁦@NYCMayor⁩ continues his criticism of other elected officials and whether they’re doing enough to get New York City more money for the asylum seeker crisis
