New York Stands Still for Alex Pretti A report from a Jan. 29 vigil in Manhattan for slain nurse Alex Pretti and other victims of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Even in the frigid cold, NYers came out to honor Alex Pretti, a nurse, an advocate, and a good neighbor.
@heyitsmurad.bsky.social reminded us that his murder is part of a pattern of deaths in ICE custody and extrajudicial killings that must be put to an end.

Last night on the @deanobeidallah.bsky.social show, @heyitsmurad.bsky.social talked about how ICE needs to be defunded and reformed, instead of getting more funding from Congress to terrorize people.

"Dear Trust:

I join @thenyic.bsky.social president @heyitsmurad.bsky.social in calling on the Trust "to ensure that they indeed do not renew this contract and ensure that our public realm is being used for public good, not public horrors."

🚨 STATEMENT: Trump Admin Expands Muslim & African Ban, Putting 420K New Yorkers at Risk 🚨

"This racist policy sends the message that some lives are more valuable to America based on race, religion, or nationality." @heyitsmurad.bsky.social

Commentary: On protecting immigrants, will New York choose complicity or courage? Three major pieces of legislation — the New York for All Act, the Access to Representation Act and the BUILD Act — will help the state defend its immigrant residents.

Passing the Access to Representation Act would protect all immigrant New Yorkers by providing universal legal representation.

Protecting immigrant families isn't a partisan issue, it's a human issue. ❤️ 🗽

“No New Yorker should be terrorized by Trump’s ICE while accessing City services." Murad Awawdeh

The New York for All Act must be passed to protect our immigrant neighbors.

NY's elected officials should either stand with the vulnerable or stand aside! 🗽✊

@heyitsmurad.bsky.social, a member of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team, comments on how the incoming mayoral administration can protect New Yorkers from Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.

@heyitsmurad.bsky.social discusses a New York City ICE raid that was thwarted by hundreds of protesters. He says New York police actions during the protest are “a very slippery slope" that could be interpreted as collusion.
