Just asked RUBEN GALLEGO three times point blank why he said minors and DACA are protected by Laken Riley Act.
Nothing.
"Did you actually *read* the bill before cosponsoring?"
Nothing.

It’s going to take a lot of technology to carry out the mass deportations that Trump has consistently promised.

A new memo from ICE circulating on the Hill emphasizes the Laken Riley Act is “impossible to execute with existing resources.”
New #’s put the need for beds at over 100k & costs over $26 billion.
They say prior estimates were outdated & didn’t count for all crimes in the bill

Know before you go:
🎒 You do NOT have to consent to have your bag searched
🚆 However, you'll likely be denied entry to that specific subway station if you refuse
🤳 You have the right to film public police activity so long as you don't interfere

"No sensible New Yorker should believe for a moment that a stream of migrants — despite the daunting financial and logistical issues involved in giving them food and shelter, as required by law — can literally destroy our city."

Saying that migrants from all over the world arriving here “will destroy New York City” is repugnant MAGA garbage.
10K a month? In 1907, that many came in a *day* — and it MADE this city.
Let’s drop this demagoguery and invest in welcoming asylum seekers and getting them work.

From Jan to Sept last year, NYC rejected 2/3 of the 50,585 applications it received for One-Shot Deal payments to cover rent arrears
That’s roughly double the denial rate from 2018
For @Gothamist @WNYC

Tried to put $5 into my account so an incarcerated person at a NJ jail could call me. The company that runs the phones, @ViaPathTech, charged me $8.25 -- more than 50% in fees.
Unlike in NYC, calls from NJ prisons/jails cost $. There's a bill to make them free, but it's stalled.

“Vote harder” is not a response to how the white establishment overrides popular will & deploys police to assault protesters

You + your spouse see your dream home on the market.
Y’all have saved every dime for years, secured a mortgage approval, borrowed money from relatives. You put in an offer—only to lose to a cash buyer.
This is a real problem: cash buyers make up 40% of NYC homebuyers

We’re now opening up the conversation for community members to share experiences and raise questions about ICE detention in New York State
Tania Mattos retweeted
The scathing report from Monitor Steve Martin — the third in three weeks — questioned how Correction Commissioner Louis Molina could determine there was no wrongdoing as a team of correction officers tackled a shackled detainee on May 11.
