ICE has lied to keep Members of Congress out of the 10th floor at 26 Federal Plaza. This video makes it clear: this IS a detention facility, and the conditions are overcrowded, unsanitary, and inhumane. ICE must allow Congressional oversight now and shut this facility down.
🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact
I love New York City and ALL the energy!
Cameras are EVERYWHERE! Don't get caught doing something you *maybe* shouldn't be doing. Thinking about doing something naughty, like dumping trash in the City? We've got video cameras all over. We WILL catch you - and you will pay the price!
Today I visited @RESCUEorg’s Newcomer Summer Youth Academy. I am so grateful for the critical work they’re doing to ensure our new young neighbors have access to social-emotional learning and the arts!
Working people across NYC are uniting to defend our neighborhoods and our city from unprecedented attacks from extremist politicians and billionaires. 1199 members are proud to endorse @ZohranKMamdani for Mayor as we fight for a safe, affordable, and healthy city for all!
Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet was a 20-year-old American visiting family in the West Bank for the summer. He was beaten to death by Israeli settlers. The U.S. must immediately launch a full, independent investigation and demand accountability for his death.
A 20-year-old U.S. citizen, Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. Activist Jonathan Pollak describes the attack and how Israeli soldiers enable such violence against Palestinians. democracynow.org/2025/7/15/sayf…

Proud to stand with @alaa2325 members as they prepare to strike! These @UAW members represent the most vulnerable New Yorkers in immigration, housing, juvenile, civil and criminal court. They must get a fair contract—our city depends on it!

Kyra is one of dozens of constituents my office has helped to get UI benefits this year. The single most common reason people call me is that they qualified for UI but can't get through to a human at @NYSLabor. Something has to change! @jul1arock nysfocus.com/2025/07/14/new…
Shameful to direct abuse towards family members this way. Especially knowing the death threats and abuse that Zohran is receiving. This is dangerous & way over the line. Zohran would never go after his opponent’s family like this. The difference in character couldn’t be clearer.
The father of @ZohranKMamdani embraced globalize the intifada! If you track through the father’s social media feeds, you’ll see where Zohran came from, where he is going, and why he loathes anything tied to Israel and hopes for its destruction. The father doesn’t use the words…
Another reason we need New York For All and Dignity Not Detention
The police department in the village of Camden in New York signed a 287(g) agreement with ICE. Task force model, which permits the deputization of local officers to act essentially as ICE agents. Apropos of nothing, Camden is not terribly far from the town of Mexico.
Because everyone knows the best way to show you don’t care about something is to talk and post about it constantly
Asked about threats to primary incumbent Democrats, congressman Ritchie Torres replies, "We couldn't care less about Mickey Mouse primary challenges." "We do not care about the Democratic Socialists of America."

Today I toured some of Brooklyn’s finest recycling facilities with @ncelenviro! It was illuminating to see the incredible amount of material that’s being recycled at these sites. Thanks @EmilyAssembly @SalazarSenate @BrianKavanaghNY for coordinating this peek behind the scenes!
Weird threat to make since Hakeem already went after @JabariBrisport and I. How’d that go for him, again? 2022 Primary Results: SD 22 Jabari Brisport: 70.4% AD 57 Phara Souffrant Forrest: 67.2% If the leader wants another public beatdown, he knows where to find me.
