“Immigrants being detained in federal holding rooms in Lower Manhattan have complained of being unable to bathe or change clothes, cramped conditions, sometimes being provided just one meal a day, and sleeping on concrete benches or the floor.” gothamist.com/news/theyre-ki…
Our summer interns have done an amazing job assisting CIANA’s staff and clients with our educational, legal, and case management services. Thank you to SYEP, ISP, and RSSI for connecting us with bright, motivated students this summer! #NationalInternDay
@CIANAINC, this really shows how important it is to have someone fighting for students who've never been in trouble before. so glad this worked out for them.
“We were able to argue and establish to the court that this boy, who is a student who has no criminal record, who was attending his court hearings, is in fact not a danger to our society, nor is he a flight risk, which is obvious to all of us.” @nylag abc7ny.com/post/queens-hi…

U.S. Judge Blocks Mass Raids in Los Angeles Area, Says Detainees Must Get Access to Lawyers democracynow.org/2025/7/14/head…
Trump is illegally detaining 100+ immigrants—most of whom have no criminal records—in the MDC, a Brooklyn federal jail so unsafe, judges have called it "barbaric." It's a violation of their rights and of basic human dignity. Today, we called on @ICEgov to end this cruel charade.
One week until our Book Fair and Day of Action! We’re excited to spend next Friday afternoon giving out books, immigration resources, and more with our community partners. See the flyer for more info, and DM us with any questions!
We tell our clients that attending their court dates shows commitment to following the legal immigration process, & lessens their chance of detention. It’s frightening that routine court appointments have become scenes for ICE detention & even deportation. cbsnews.com/newyork/news/i…

After years of crackdowns on street vendors, even before Trump, we’re glad @NYCCouncil is taking action to protect some of the most vulnerable and most vital businesses in our city. @VendorPower gothamist.com/news/nyc-stree…
Trump admin strips deportation protection of thousands more. “Now...immigrant families are being ordered to live in the shadows, uproot their lives after decades in America, or be deported to countries that remain unsafe,” @heyitsmurad gothamist.com/news/white-hou…
Save the Date: next Friday, July 18, we’re hosting a Book Fair and Day of Action outside our office! Come by for free children’s books, giveaways, and resources for immigrants with CIANA and our partners. See you there!
