Hundreds of New Yorkers came together this past weekend to remind legislators and Governor Kathy Hochul that any immigration package passed without the New York for All Act is NOT ENOUGH. Until the state prohibits law enforcement collusion with ICE, New Yorkers remain vulnerable to the cruelty of the federal mass deportation agenda. Everyone deserves dignity and due process. We need now!

New Yorkers made it clear across the state this weekend that New York must end law enforcement collusion with ICE and CBP -- and until the legislature passes and Governor Kathy Hochul signs it into law, they can't claim they're meeting this moment of mass deportations and ICE violence.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: New Yorkers across the state are coming together 5/29 & 30 to call on the state to end its complicity in separating families and passing the New York for All Act.

IDP was so grateful to be a part of the premiere of EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET this past weekend! It was a pleasure to hear filmmaker Felipe Bustos Sierra in conversation with Marie Mark (CUNY School of Law) and Naomi Gordon-Loebl (Jewish Currents) to discuss this documentary that covers the 2021 raid in Glasgow of a primarily Muslim neighborhood on Eid, and the incredible response from the community that ensued.

The film will continue to screen at DCTV through this week. You can check out tickets for the documentary at https://www.dctvny.org/s/firehouse-film/everybody-to-kenmure-street-MCYQF2IJTPSRGVXDJZUCKR6PYHVI

🚨 NEW: The immigration package included in New York State's recent budget deal continues to leave the door wide open for law enforcement to collaborate with to tear families and communities apart. With days left in the state legislative session, IDP calls on Senate and Assembly leaders to pass the New York for All Act and for Governor Kathy Hochul to sign it into law to protect New York families. Pass now!

Let's be clear: local and state law enforcement work with ICE with or without formal 287g agreements. is the only legislation that would prohibit this widespread collusion and provide the actual protection New Yorkers need and demand. We need to pass the New York for All Act now!

It's New York for ALL, not New York for some. If Governor Kathy Hochul and the NY Legislators are serious about protecting New Yorkers from ICE's violence, then they *must* prohibit law enforcement from colluding with to tear families and communities apart. They must pass the New York for All Act now!

Across the US and here in New York, ICE relies on discriminatory and aggressive policing to racially profile and target immigrants. And despite all the rhetoric, Governor Kathy Hochul's recent immigration package would continue to give law enforcement free rein to feed the arrest-to-deportation pipeline.

Everyone regardless of where you were born or where you live, deserves safety and dignity. This we're thinking of all the immigrant mothers, moms, and mamas that light up worlds and continue fighting for a world where no one is left behind 💕

NEW: Despite Governor Kathy Hochul's claims of “protections against ICE,” her budget immigration package instead gives law enforcement "carte blanche" to collude with them. We continue calling on the governor and NY State legislators to show a heart and a spine by passing the New York for All Act to prohibit local and state resources from being used to carry out Trump's mass deportation agenda. New Yorkers can't wait any longer.
