Albany, NY—Today, the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), member organizations, immigrant New Yorkers, elected officials, and allies rallied at the New York State Capitol in support of the New York For All Act (A3506/S2235) for the 2025 New York State Legislative Session.
New York, NY—Today, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to identify cities and states with “sanctuary jurisdictions.” Cities and states identified on the list could face cuts in federal funding and possible criminal and civil suits for democratically enacted laws that promote public safety.
In its first 100 days, in a "flood the zone approach,” the Trump Administration has issued over 25 presidential orders (executive orders, presidential memoranda and presidential proclamations) and taken hundreds of policy actions on immigration. These actions test the boundaries of executive power and the law, and as a result, litigation challenging the legality of these polices abound.
The Trump administration has rolled out draconian measures to push out its mass deportation, detention, and disappearance agenda to further its crackdown on immigration that will have severe consequences for the United States. For any questions and concerns, we urge community members to speak to a trusted legal representative as soon as possible.
