As I told @errollouis: I hope more people will come to immigration court, not just to accompany folks, but to bear witness. We've got to raise our voices louder against the creeping fascism eroding the rule of law.

ICE agents have shown us they don't care what happens in the courtroom. They can lock us out of hearings, but we will keep showing up. We will not be silenced. amny.com/politics/ice-i…

Trump and ICE want to stop immigration court observations. But as long as they use this building unlawfully—locking up people in inhumane conditions—we will keep showing up and shining a light on these abuses of power.

Mayor Adams wants to sign a 5-year contract extension for @NYCSchools's 45-year-old year old school bus contract. @nycpa and I ran the numbers. Here's why the contract is harmful to NYC students—and why extending it for another 5 years is a mistake 👇

Quoting @NYCSchools own description of one summer pre-K school bus contract being approved tonight. After all this, the company gets almost $7 million for 6 weeks. #WheresMyBus🚍 #WeArePIST #BringBackEPP pistnyc.org/events/72325pep

"I'm going to fight for my community because I want ICE out of my schools." Feeling inspired by Licette, an NYC student standing up and fighting back against Donald Trump's attacks on our schools. I'm with her every step of the way.

With the freezing of federal education funding & the @usedgov on the brink of being dismantled, @realDonaldTrump is out to destroy public education. I'm proud to stand alongside @CMRitaJoseph in the fight to ensure the next generation has access to free, public education.

Federal immigration court is an abduction trap. Remorseless ICE agents keep waiting outside courtrooms to arrest whoever's inside. @realDonaldTrump has made it clear: his goal is to punish immigrants no matter what. Every day, NY stands up & fights back. prospect.org/justice/2025-0…

NYCComptroller's tweet card. As Trump’s deportation gangs continue snatching people after scheduled court hearings, more are opting to stay home. But that comes with its own dangers.

Via @politicony: Extreme delays. Overlong routes. Brutal heat. @NYCSchools's poor bus service is widespread, especially hurting homeless students and those with IEPs. For @nycmayor to lock in a 5 year extension to a flawed 45 year old contract is simply unacceptable.

Proud to be here with our New York City school communities along with @NYCComptroller , @nycpa , @SenatorBrisport as we send a clear message to Trump and MAGA extremists: keep your hands off public education. 📢

I'm proud to have spearheaded @NYCCouncil legislation that helped make office-to-resi conversions possible but new report from @NYCComptroller reminds us NYC oversees & administers ~$5B in tax breaks every year. But mechanism to evaluate their efficacy is weak and needs teeth.

NNick Garber@nick_garber · Jul 17

NYC's office-to-apartment conversions are booming, w/ 44 known projects slated to create 17K homes, per a new @NYCComptroller report. But the flawed design of the 467m tax break means the city may spend billions on conversions that would've happened anyway ebx.sh/Sm8CIZ

Office-to-residential conversions are gaining momentum, with over 17,000 potential new homes in the pipeline, according to a new report by @NYCComptroller. The Council has consistently championed policies to make this possible, and we’ll keep working to deliver much-needed…

The ICE agents lurk outside immigration court. You can barely see them through their balaclavas and hats. They have no identifying information, no badges, no warrants. It feels like murderous reality show happening in our city. amny.com/immigration/ic…

NYCComptroller's tweet card. An ICE arrest outside a New York courthouse prompted public outcry, especially after a reality TV crew was spotted filming the scene without consent.

ICE arrests have surged sixfold in just one month. This isn’t just about immigrants—it’s about defending the rule of law itself. With $50 million already allocated for legal aid, the City and State must act now to deliver this vital support to New Yorkers.
