Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor·
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

Everyone should stop what they're doing and read this deeply heartbreaking and incredibly powerful new essay from Mahmoud Khalil about his old life -- the one he had before the Trump administration began unjustly targeting him. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

It has just been revealed that the US has already spent at least $25 billion on a war for Israel that began by killing 100+ schoolgirls and Congress is now voting on… condemning Hasan Piker

Imagine you are an immigrant here legally, working, paying taxes. Your status comes up for a renewal, and you file the paperwork months in advance. Then the government tells you they refuse to process your renewal because of where you were born, and if you lose your job, tough.

Immigrants with legal permission to live + work in the U.S. are losing status. Some are professionals, highly educated, others lived here all their lives or are newlyweds. They have one thing in common: they were born in a travel banned country My latest: npr.org/2026/04/28/nx-…

"A 10-year-old represented himself in immigration court" is a dystopian statement that seems fake at first glance but is actually a relatively common occurrence in our absurd system. One of the Trump admin's first acts was to strip funding for legal counsel for children.
Joaquin Castro@JoaquinCastrotx

Wilfredo is 10 years old. Last week, he represented himself in immigration court. His mother, Nexoli, was detained in Houston and has been locked up and away from her son since December. Now, DHS wants to send him to Ecuador—a place he has never been and knows no one. Nexoli has a work permit and was trying to do everything the right way. ICE must release her and stop its case to deport Wilfredo immediately. He should be treated like a kid—not a criminal.

The Trump Admin has frozen USCIS processing for Iranian nationals, putting 12,000+ students at risk of losing legal status. Forcing them back to Iran now puts their lives at risk from regime repression and an active war. @SenMarkey and I are demanding immediate action.

Last week, we stood up for our values and voted to extend temporary protected status for people from Haiti, who have long contributed to our communities.  Now it’s onto the Senate. We can stand together and show compassion amidst crisis.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@RepPressley

BREAKING: I took to the House floor to force a vote on extending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. We won the first important vote in this process, and now we're a step closer to getting this done. The House must move with urgency and pass this legislation without delay.

Extractive oligarchy has captured our society and is leading us towards the brink. Taxing wealth is essential, but we must also close the loopholes that let the ultra-rich defer taxes on the wealth they hoard away. Stop the flow of dynastic wealth at its source.

Ed Markey@SenMarkey·
After shuttering refugee admissions, the Trump administration now wants to send more than one thousand of our Afghan allies to the Democratic Republic of Congo, which currently faces a grave humanitarian crisis. This brave group includes children, families of American service members, and people who lent a hand to our servicemembers. This is the ultimate betrayal.

WOW! If true, it's enormously damning. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. But official documents appear to show they are NOT related at ALL.
