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!

Judges free Canal Street vendors arrested by ICE, question legality of raids Department of Homeland Security officials said the arrests were part of “targeted” operations to crack down on the illegal sale of counterfeit goods.

⛓️‍💥 We're glad for the release of three of the illegally detained street vendors, but these arrests should never have happened, and the federal judges who rules on their cases agree.

No more illegal ICE terror in our cities! #ICEOutofEverywhere ❌🧊

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.

ICE has separated families across administrations. Gov. Hochul’s immigration bill is a step, but #NY4ALL is the comprehensive solution. Immigrant NYers deserve permanent protections‼️ 🚫🧊

ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning warehouses into detention centers ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion converting warehouses into detention centers, according to planning documents, more than the annual budgets of 22 states.

🚨 STATEMENT: NYIC Applauds Faiza Ali’s Appointment as NYC’s Next MOIA Commissioner

"As a born and bred New Yorker, who grew up in an immigrant family and neighborhood in Brooklyn, she intimately understands the needs and experiences of our communities." Murad Awawdeh

Opinion: New York Can Lead on Immigrant Protections, With Hochul’s Leadership "During last year’s legislative session, the New York for All Act gained significant traction from the Legislature but ultimately did not pass," the author writes. "What we need is the governor’s support during this legislative session."

Trump is rapidly expanding 287(g), turning local police into immigration agents.

🗽Gov. Hochul must strengthen protections & draw a clear line against #ICE entanglement.

✊🏽 Courage over complicity!

NY, NJ are co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but will the tourists come? Local business and tourism leaders worry about the toll from immigration enforcement and other White House policies.
