It’s also important to note the base bill originated in the House and was drafted by Republicans, so... .
For now, this is proof that sustained advocacy works, and a step toward holding federal immigration agencies accountable. #DHSShutdown #DHSFundingBill #ICEOut #DignityNotDetention
We print IDs because everyone deserves dignity, safety, and the ability to show up for their families. This is what community care looks like. #DignityNotDetention #EnvisionFreedom #AbolishICE
Today on our phone zap for #DignityNotDetention, we asked callers to read aloud the names of the 12 people who've died in ICE detention since Jan 1—as @austinkocher.com notes, a rate of roughly one person every six days. Then we held a moment of silence.

We’re doing it again today.
And we’ll keep on doing it until New York State stops making money off destroying the communities that make our state worth living in!

✨ Coverage of our mobilization to Albany today for #DignityNotDetention:
Rosa Cohen-Cruz, Immigration Policy Director at the Bronx Defenders, pushed back on the idea that keeping detainees in New York facilities is better because it keeps them closer to home.

New York is considering the #DignityNotDetention act to limit the federal government’s ability to run these concentration camps in our state. Advocate for legislation in your towns, counties and states to block these before they can gain steam. The time is NOW!
10 people freed from ICE this week! ✊ With $109,300 in bonds paid, ten people are now back with their loved ones and communities. #FreeThemAll #DignityNotDetention #AbolishICE #ICEOut
Envision Freedom Fund urges the New York State Legislature to urgently pass the #DignityNotDetention Act (S316 Salazar / A4181 Reyes) and end the state’s complicity in immigration detention once and for all.
A grainy illustration of an old-school flip phone with onscreen text reading “PASS DND! PASS NY4ALL!” Instead of showing numbers, the phone’s keypad says “GET ICE OUT NOW.” Text in the upper right-and corner says, “Tuesday Phone Zap | bit.ly/PassDND26” In the lower left-hand corner, in black-and-purple, it says “NY DIGNITY NOT DETENTION” with the campaign logo.
🚨 TODAY, 1-2 pm, on Zoom
Join us to tell @governor.ny.gov and New York lawmakers we do not want concentration camps in our state and we want ICE out NOW. ❌🧊

Whenever someone is arrested and fingerprinted, ICE knows. ICE is still arrested people outside courthouses while cases are ongoing, still coming to people's homes after cases start, & still taking people directly from upstate custody because Hochul has refused to sign #NY4All & #DignityNotDetention
The #DignityNotDetention Act would close that loophole!

I stand corrected. The skeet I quoted refers to 287(g) agreements at the *state* level. It's true, NY does not have a state-level 287(g). But I stand by my criticism of Hochul. If she was serious about protecting our communities in NY, she would have backed #NY4All and #DignityNotDetention ages ago
New Yorkers! Starting at 1 PM . . .
Join us in calling Gov Kathy Hochul and other elected reps to demand #DignityNotDetention and #NY4All.
New Yorkers need REAL protection, not the temporary half-measures she's trying to push through!

#DignityNotDetention, not the temporary half-measures trotted out by Hochul in her bid to win reelection!
“ICE abuse, retaliation, medical neglect, and deaths in detention have happened under multiple administrations, and they won’t end without permanent action."

If Hochul was serious about protecting New Yorkers and not just showboating to get reelected, she would move heaven and earth to get #NY4All and #DignityNotDetention passed NOW
But only until 2029. It's more of a 3-year pause, at which point they can go back to being bounty hunters for ICE. Craven and ridiculous, especially given that bills that provide meaningful protection on 287(g) & detention sites (the other target of her bill) exist in #DignityNotDetention & #NY4All.
Instead of backing #NY4All (banning all cop/jail/prison collaboration with ICE) or #DignityNotDetention (blocking ICE detention facilities in NYS), Hochul is backing a new bill that'd bar 287(g)s & some gov't contracts—BUT ONLY UNTIL TRUMP LEAVES OFFICE. Traaash. www.governor.ny.gov/sites/defaul...
