“Immigrants built NY & made our state stronger.” Glad you FINALLY got the memo. Shame you spent yrs trying to turn Nassau cops into ICE agents & immigrant fam’s into political props. Immigrants dont need election-season appreciation. We need leaders to respect NYers year-round.

Immigrants built New York and made our state stronger. No matter your background, New Yorkers want the same things: good-paying jobs, lower taxes, lower utility bills, and safer communities. I delivered in Nassau County, and I can deliver for New York.

While we’re on the subj of #Ticketmaster… they’ve made it harder & harder for working-class NYers & immigrant families to afford the concerts + games they ❤️. $1,000 for a Knicks ticket? Fighting fans over refunds? Enough. NYs biggest events shouldnt be reserved for the wealthy.

For those paying attention, the long promised New York ICE surge may already be here. "What we've been seeing is that the escalations have not stopped; they've only increased." @HeyItsMurad newsday.com/news/region-stat…

Seeking refuge from persecution, violence, or oppression is not as a last resort, but a fundamental human right. The very origin story of Islam is deeply rooted in the refugee experience. @read_naveed @HIASrefugees @thenyic @ICNY @workerscircle @jewishaction @truahrabbis

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should be alive today. Another life taken by a cruel, violent immigration enforcement system that operates with impunity. We demand justice & accountability. No one should die at the hands of ICE. Every person deserves dignity & due process. Abolish ICE. – at Queens, NY
