As arrests inside courthouses picked up, so did arrests at immigrants' ICE check-ins. Many of these arrests happen behind closed doors inside 26 Federal Plaza — outside of the view of news cameras and reporters. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/03/5...

An 18 year old NYer arrived home after 3 months in ICE detention following a federal judge’s order for his release. ICE had arrested him even though he had a legal status protecting him from deportation; the judge, an appointee of Trump, called his confinement “unlawful” nysfocus.com/2025/11/01/i...

Trump’s threats to deploy troops to our city makes all of us less safe. This is un-American and creates chaos that only weakens our local communities and economy. New Yorkers want a safe and affordable city, and we are united in demanding that Trump keep his hands off NYC.
