ICE heavily relies on agencies of all kinds to fuel the deportation machine, but over the past decade they've increasingly relied on the police-to-deportation pipeline to do so. Read the growing list of reported cases of law enforcement collusion with #ICE in NY state: bit.ly/NY-ICEwatch

β€œIt’s not hard for elected leaders to point their fingers at ICE and say, β€˜This is unacceptable,’ and they’re right. But we're pointing our fingers at local leaders and saying, β€˜What your responsibility is, is to make sure that the city and state are not enabling this further.” - IDP Exec Director

Hochul's immigration bill is timed just to Trump. Should it go further? Lawmakers at Caucus Weekend discussed extending and expanding a proposal to limit cooperation with ICE.

Immigrant New Yorkers deserve better than protections with expiration dates! The New York for All Act remains the only comprehensive legislative solution that meets this critical moment. Pass #NY4All NOW!

Opinion: Only the New York for All Act can end local officials’ collaboration with ICE The governor’s recently proposed ban on 287(g) agreements is a meaningful first step but would still allow for informal collusion with federal immigration authorities.

Assemblymember Karines Reyes: New York for All Act is the comprehensive solution New Yorkers need to protect our families, friends and neighbors. "We need to ensure that none of our resources are misused to tear apart New York’s families." Pass #NY4All now!

We call upon the Governor to remedy this *deceptive* act by immediately backing the comprehensive, permanent protections in the New York for All Act that will protect New Yorkers from ICE's horrifying abuses. #NY4All

BREAKING: Upon reviewing the fine print of @governor.ny.gov's proposal, we were stunned to discover that the prohibition on "287g" mass deportation agreements would EXPIRE in three years.

Governor Hochul, this is NOT leadership. 1/

Last week hundreds rallied in Albany to urge legislators to pass the New York for All Act to ensure New York will not be complicit in Trump’s cruel deportation agenda.

We're saying it loud and clear to lawmakers: step up and stop the complicity - pass #NY4All now!

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press reveals that the agency allows immigration officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant.

This is how ICE "works":

➑️A secret ICE memo lets agents break into homes without a judicial warrant: apnews.com/article/ice-...

➑️ICE agents used a 5-year-old child as "bait," and now both he and his father's whereabouts are unknown: mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

In Nassau Co + others ICE has officially β€œdeputized” local officers to act as deportation agents, seizing neighbors on the streets.

Nassau alone has turned 3,000 people over to ICE. 1 person- Santos Banegas, DIED as a direct result: longislandadvocate.com/death-in-ice...

What about this works? 2/

Hochul discusses Medicaid, immigration, child care and climate The governor does not appear willing to support the β€œNew York for All” Act.

@governor.ny.gov - "it's working?" 🀨
Please be serious and honest. NY is facing a crisis: over a million New Yorkers live in counties that have signed 287g mass deportation agreements with ICE. Others are colluding in secret.

You could end this with the stroke of a pen #NY4All 1/

Local governments across New York have signed fourteen(!!) 287g mass deportation agreements with ICE that involve this β€œtraining”, with others pending. In Nassau County - where Santos died, the 287g agreement has led to THREE THOUSAND DEPORTATIONS.

How can you give β€œfree range” for local police and sheriffs to receive β€œtraining” from ICE on β€œMulticultural communication” and β€œAvoiding racial profiling” (!!!) when ICE has created chaos and violence across the U.S.-especially towards Black and brown folks?

Giving β€œfree range” for local police and sheriffs to collude with ICE to abduct our neighbors led to the tragic death of Santos Banegas, a father of two, in Nassau County last year. Santos died in Nassau County jail as a direct result of the county’s involvement in the 287g mass deportation program.
