Mamdani Promised to Protect Immigrant Data. Will it Be Enough? - Documented Experts weigh in on how the city can protect New Yorkers' personal information from improperly landing in the hands of the Trump administration.

Living in the information age cuts both ways. Protecting immigrant NYers means safeguarding their data so that it cannot be abused by 🧊ICE🧊

@mayor.nyc.gov must see to it that systems of accountability are put in place to shore up his sanctuary policies. 🛡️

ICE detention center proposed for Holtsville office building, but Brookhaven balks The proposal to renovate a large office building leased by the federal government could signal ICE's efforts to expand its crackdown on Long Island, immigration advocates say

This is what community accountability looks like. Let’s keep showing up!✊✨

We cannot allow ICE expansion to quietly move into our neighborhoods. ❌ #ICEOutNOW

DHS’s use of secretive legal weapon draws congressional scrutiny After a Washington Post investigation, congressional Democrats are asking tech giants how they handle administrative subpoenas targeting DHS’s critics.

When federal agencies can secretly demand your personal data without a judge, it's not democracy anymore, & it should alarm all of us.‼️

This is about more than immigration. When power operates in secrecy, accountability suffers.

Immigrant protection bill to move at the Capitol this week And New York is putting Buy Now, Pay Later lenders on notice in newly drafted regulations for the industry.

Detainments by ICE have reached a record high. Criminals are not fueling the surge At the immigration detention center in Batavia, the average daily count of detainees reached a peak this fiscal year. But that figure came as non-criminal detainees increase by 60%, and now make up 83% of the total population.

#ICEdetentions are at a historic high & the narrative that "criminals are fueling the surge" is FALSE‼️ This quota-driven dragnet to tear families apart is plain CRUEL!
