New York, NY—Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will be implementing a new public charge rule to determine whether immigrants are eligible to become citizens, adjust status, or be admitted to the US based on the likelihood of becoming a public charge.

New York, NY—Today, the Trump administration has reportedly ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to halt making vehicle stops. This comes after ICE killed two people at separate traffic stops in the last week. On July 7, ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, Texas.

New York, NY—Today, Immigration and Law Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed a man they had pulled over in Houston. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed that the individual had "weaponized his vehicle,” a claim the agency has made hundreds of times during the current Trump administration.

New York, NY—The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans ruled that people in immigration detention have the right to meaningful due process and must receive a bond hearing within 90 days. The decision rejects the Trump administration’s attempt to detain people without having to justify their continued detention before a judge.

New York, NY—Yesterday, the New York City Mayor and the City Council enacted a $125.8 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2027. Schedule C funding was also released. The NYIC fought for a range of programs to support immigrant New Yorkers, and applauds the inclusion of several of our priorities in this deal, including immigration legal services, access to healthcare, housing support, language access, and investments for immigrant children in public schools.

New York, NY—Today, in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) rejected the Administration’s attempt to strip birthright citizenship from children born in the United States through a 2025 Executive Order in Trump v. Barbara.

New York, NY—Today, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled in Mullin v.

New York, NY—Today, the United States D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Trump administration, restoring its 2025 nationwide expedited removal policy. The ruling allows immigration officials to fast-track the deportation of immigrants believed to be undocumented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) inside the United States, bypassing a hearing before an Immigration Court, if they fail to demonstrate that they have continuously lived in the country for at least two years.
