🚨 STATEMENT: Trump Admin Expands Muslim & African Ban, Putting 420K New Yorkers at Risk 🚨 "This racist policy sends the message that some lives are more valuable to America based on race, religion, or nationality." @heyitsmurad.bsky.social

Passing the Access to Representation Act would protect all immigrant New Yorkers by providing universal legal representation. Protecting immigrant families isn't a partisan issue, it's a human issue. ❤️ 🗽 @heyitsmurad.bsky.social www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

🚨 STATEMENT: ICE Enters NYC Shelters Without Judicial Warrants in Violation of Sanctuary Policies “No New Yorker should be terrorized by Trump’s ICE while accessing City services." Murad Awawdeh

The New York for All Act must be passed to protect our immigrant neighbors. NY's elected officials should either stand with the vulnerable or stand aside! 🗽✊ Murad Awawdeh https://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/protecting-immigrants-new-york-choose-complicity-21237525.php

@heyitsmurad.bsky.social, a member of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team, comments on how the incoming mayoral administration can protect New Yorkers from Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.

@heyitsmurad.bsky.social discusses a New York City ICE raid that was thwarted by hundreds of protesters. He says New York police actions during the protest are “a very slippery slope" that could be interpreted as collusion.

@heyitsmurad.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social “The message here is that we’re all walking each other home together.” 🩷🔥🙌 #BraveOfUS @braveofus.bsky.social

🚨 STATEMENT: NYers Rally to Protect Neighbors on Canal Street, NYPD Clears ICE’s Path "New York is a sanctuary city, and the NYPD has no business collaborating with ICE." Murad Awawdeh

🚨 STATEMENT: ICE Breaks into Queens Family’s Home, Without Warrant or Announcing Themselves, Pointing Guns at Kids “No child should ever have to be a victim of such unlawful and ruthless behaviour. The Trump administration must end its war on immigrants.” Murad Awawdeh

🚨 STATEMENT: Judge Dismisses Trump’s Protect Our Courts Act Lawsuit, Renewing Trust in NYS Courts "Courthouses must be a place of justice, not a trap used to terrorize and disappear immigrant New Yorkers." Murad Awawdeh

“Eric Adams also peddled in Islamophobia, so it’s no surprise that his allies in government are doing the same. We look forward to a new era in NYC where every single New Yorker’s culture is supported and celebrated.” @heyitsmurad.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/12/i...

“By transforming public spaces with this installation, we hope to illuminate what the national debate has too often erased: that immigrants are integral to our communities. They are our neighbors, our friends.” @heyitsmurad.bsky.social queensledger.com/2025/10/16/n...

“Deploying military forces to our cities is not about safety. It’s about control. We demand that the National Guard, the military, and ICE stand down.” @heyitsmurad.bsky.social www.amny.com/new-york/han...

“This policy pressures children to abandon their legal claims and return to a life of fear and danger without ever receiving a fair hearing. This policy will devastate families and communities – and it is targeted to hurt children.” @heyitsmurad.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@heyitsmurad.bsky.social from the @thenyic.bsky.social speaks at the New Yorkers Against ICE rally.

"What matters is leadership in this moment, and having a leader who's willing and ready to fight back. That's what Zohran is willing to do." - @heyitsmurad.bsky.social, President and CEO of NYIC Action

Immigrants are on the front lines of attacks on free speech, due process, & worker protections. What is the legal landscape? How do we protect our neighbors and ourselves? Join us for a timely discussion feat. @aurabogado.bsky.social, @heyitsmurad.bsky.social, Alina Das, Cecilia Wang, & @atg.wa.gov.

Like @heyitsmurad.bsky.social said this morning: This administration is not just dusting off Trump’s old anti-immigrant playbook—they’re escalating it. More cruelty. More fear. More inhumanity. We’re rallying to say: Not on our watch.👀

Mayor Baraka: I went there just to get these people to follow the laws...I didn't go down there to protest. I went down there to support my congressional delegation. They turned it into a melee and and mayhem and arrested me. @rasjbaraka.bsky.social

Now @heyitsmurad.bsky.social from the @thenyic.bsky.social explains how the mayor is failing to protect New Yorkers as our community members are getting snatched up by ICE. This is unacceptable. No ICE on Rikers, Shut Down Rikers!

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Come for one, face us all! #FreeMahmoud #FreeMomodou #FreeRumeysa #FreeBadar #FreeLeeqa

Strong words from some of New York's biggest defenders of immigrant communities. @thenyic.bsky.social's @heyitsmurad.bsky.social is joined by three @council.nyc.gov speakers who enacted and defended critical policies over the last 15+ years to protect immigrant New Yorkers' rights.

The Mayor is selling out ALL of New York. We Protect Us!

This week: - Hunger Advocates & lawmakers react to $340M in funding for universal school meals in Gov. Hochul's executive budget proposal - @heyitsmurad.bsky.social of @thenyic.bsky.social: legal challenges to the federal executive orders on immigration & the role of NYS Learn more: nynow.wmht.org

So to be clear, the Mayor of NYC is using our neighbors (who are the economic backbone of NYC) as leverage to get his charges dropped so he can participate in Trumps Mass Deportation and Family Separation campaign? Not on our watch.

“HR. 29 will destabilize our families and communities, while devastating our economy and do nothing meaningful to keep us safe,” said @thenyic.bsky.social’s @heyitsmurad.bsky.social. “Each and every person who voted this bill into law should be ashamed.” www.nyic.org/2025/01/immi...

Important message from @thenyic.bsky.social's @heyitsmurad.bsky.social ahead of the upcoming legislative session: "Our state and local leaders are the last defense against unconstitutional and immoral federal policies."

🚨STATEMENT: Trump’s Mass Deportation Agenda is a Threat to America’s Democracy and Future "Trump isn’t just targeting immigrant communities, he’s attacking the very fabric of the country” 🔗https://www.nyic.org/2024/12/trumps-mass-deportation-agenda-is-a-threat-to-americas-democracy-and-future/

We should be able to expect that the mayor of New York City has a basic understanding of the Constitutional rights of the people he serves…. gothamist.com/news/mayor-a...

Growth happens through challenge. We’re all growing at different paces. Like climbing a hill, question our choices midway, but get to the top and relish in the view.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

I’m rooting for us. All of us.

Mass deportation will hit political, logistical, economic, and legal obstacles -- but Trump can do vast damage to immigrant families and communities along the way, and NYC's next mayor is morally and politically obligated to resist and repair the wreckage. My latest in @nymag

In the face of uncertainty, remember who we are: a movement built on resilience, resistance, and victory. No wall, no policy, no curelty will silence us. We fought before, we will fight again— for today, and the generations to come. Together, we rise!

Here is the real truth: immigrants are essential to America's past, present, and future.
