Second US appeals court rejects Trump's order curtailing birthright citizenship President Donald Trump's effort to curtail birthright citizenship was declared unconstitutional by a second U.S. appeals court on Friday, handing him another defeat on a core piece of his hardline immigration agenda whose ultimate fate may lay with the U.S. Supreme Court.

A court has upheld the block on the Trump administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

We will keep fighting to uphold the rights of our nation’s constitution.

Like Putin, Netanyahu needs perpetual war for his political and possibly even physical survival.

I for one, won't be surprised if/when he shafts Trump over this very fragile peace.

Judge sets Nov. 14 deadline for new prosecutor in Georgia election case against Trump Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified due to a romantic relationship with a prosecutor she hired.

A judge says that the agency tasked with finding a prosecutor to take over the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others can have a little more time, but not as much time as it wanted. https://to.pbs.org/4h7mhrV

Important discovery fight taking shape in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case.

The question: Can the government assert privilege to avoid handing over documents that may be relevant to a defendant's vindictive prosecution claim?

Abrego's counsel says no.

The Stop Hiding Hate Act requires social media companies operating in New York to report their content moderation policies to my office.

With violence and polarization on the rise, social media companies must ensure their platforms don’t fuel hateful rhetoric and disinformation.

The federal government wants to make domestic violence survivors prove their immigration status to get crucial support and services.

I won't stand by as the government silences survivors of violence and endangers families: I'm suing and asking a court to block this cruel policy.

This morning ICE agents were in the village of Monroe before the sun rose, blocking the street, with bus loads of high school students on the way to school. This family's house they were at has elementary aged kids. This is a war on the people and I can't be the only one saying it's unacceptable.

We indicted Alton Plunkett, a former tax auditor, for his role in the RCI tax fraud scheme.

Plunkett took bribes to help RCI and its executives cheat New Yorkers and avoid paying their fair share in taxes.

We stopped the pharmaceutical company Indivior from using misleading marketing to promote Opvee, an opioid overdose drug that's unauthorized in New York.

Indivior wrongly promoted Opvee as an alternative to Narcan to officials.

RFK Jr. launches FDA review of abortion pill Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Republican states this week that the FDA would conduct a new review of abortion pills.

The FDA's decision to reexamine access to mifepristone was made because of a scientifically baseless letter and ignores decades of research that prove it's safe and effective.

If anyone challenges access to mifepristone, we will take action to protect it.

I'm suing the federal government for forcing states to censor health and sex education programs or lose tens of millions of dollars in funding.

Politics shouldn't come before education that helps reduce teen pregnancy and dangerous STIs.

US judge blocks Trump's demands for state data on food stamp recipients A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration from stripping 19 mostly Democratic-led states and Washington, D.C., of food stamp benefits funding unless the states hand over data on millions of people who receive them.

This is a critical victory in our efforts to protect the privacy of New Yorkers and ensure people can safely access the food assistance they need.

'We don’t have peace': How undocumented New Yorkers' lives have changed Many say the radius of daily life has shrunk since Trump took office.

The federal administration's cruel and inhumane policies are tearing immigrant families apart and forcing them into the shadows.

I will always fight for New York's immigrant communities.

Fix tax lien sales & keep N.Y.ers in their homes Since I first became a member of the City Council, I have met with countless families facing foreclosure and displacement over debts that were shockingly small compared to the value of their homes.…

New York City’s tax lien sale wreaks havoc on hardworking families, destabilizes communities, and strips intergenerational wealth from homeowners.

Read my op-ed about actions our city and state can take to help keep New Yorkers in their homes.
