The turn to mass surveillance technology is touted as more humane, but “the inhumanity of the system remains,” said Cynthia Galaz, former Senior Policy Associate with Freedom for Immigrants.

We cannot credibly say that NY is a welcoming state for immigrants if our communities still fear family separation and detention after interactions with the police.
@CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins, we must end police collusion with ICE! NY needs #NY4All.
"This bill would prohibit the collusion of local law enforcement with federal immigration enforcement...What we are trying to do is building public safety and, at the same time, saving resources for our locality and community." @HeyItsMurad

This: . “New Yorkers do not want to see anyone, including asylum seekers, relegated to the streets. We will vigorously oppose any motion from this administration that seeks to undo these fundamental protections that have long defined our city.” #RightToShelter#WelcomingNY
Estados Unidos volvió a centrar su atención en la legalidad del programa migratorio conocido como Daca ante una demanda presentada por estados republicanos. La información desde Nueva York. https://t.co/CXyaotioAD
The NY Dignity Not Detention campaign has started a GoFundMe to help raise funds for those who were transferred from OCJ earlier this year, their loved ones on the outside, and the folks who remain in ICE detention at OCJ. You can find the GoFundMe here: https://t.co/uxh7SgHNbW

In retaliation to our continued organizing to ensure detained immigrants at OCJ are released, ICE has been quietly transferring people to facilities hundreds of miles away. Together, with more than 50 State and City elected officials, we are demanding these unjust transfers stop.
There are at least several known instances in which ICE has discharged detainees who are on the edge of death.
Let me tell you about one of them. Johana Medina Leon fled El Salvador and sought asylum here only to die in an El Paso hospital in 2019, four days after she was freed
This story isn't just about Mark Wilson. It's about what even supposedly reform-minded prison systems do those who try to hold them accountable
The 800 people locked up at OSCI are now without their most valuable resource in accessing the courts — a constitutional right

Many are feeling well-justified rage at various deathmaking systems right now. There are many ways to help meet pressing, urgent needs related to gender violence, criminalization of survivors, & deepening deprivations within prisons. A 🧵focused on NY actions:
Did you know that ICE holds 1 out of every 10 people in detention in Louisiana, the incarceration capital of the world? Please support @islaimmigration on #GiveNOLA Day, in its critical work to defend immigrants in detention & to end ICE detention today! https://t.co/T4hKYTpwk5
That ICE is newly e-carcerating 1,000 people per day should be a huge story. People do not grasp the far-reaching consequences of massive expansion of e-carceration & surveillance of not only the person e-carcerated but indirect surveillance of those around them.
Extending the Title 42 policy - like some members of Congress are pressing for - would be a deadly mistake. @humanrights1st has now tracked more than 10k reports of kidnapping, rape, torture, murder & other attacks on people blocked in/expelled to Mexico during the Biden admin

I’m on the City Planning Commission and this land use proposal comes through: a civil rights museum in Harlem headed by none other than Rev. Al Shaprton.
The name of the proposal is One45 Museum of Civil Rights.
Yes. YES! Except…all was not as it appeared… 1/
#ShutDownGlades coalition members are delivering hundreds of pages of complaints documenting abuse at Glades, including the use of toxic chemical sprays, racist abuse, and deadly medical neglect. @POTUS must ensure that immigrants will no longer be harmed and end this contract.
Our exhibit @BrownUniversity through June 1 includes this painting by Mallory Meija, age 14, whose father was detained and deported. a home can be a person, too. @kristenalisek
In addition to everything else, I really appreciate that Steven was able to draw attention cruelty of ankle monitors and for-profit surveillance companies like GEO Group.
These companies have multi-million dollar contracts with ICE to monitor immigrants released from detention.
