Local elected leaders have spoken out against the increased activity in their district, including Council Member Carmen De La Rosa and Assembly Member Gonz\u00e1lez-Rojas.<\/p>\n

“No hate, no fear \u2014 immigrants are always welcome here,” wrote De La Rosa in a social media post shortly after a woman was pepper-sprayed by an ICE agent<\/a> in Inwood on July 28. “We must keep showing up and making it clear \u2014 ICE needs to get out of NYC.”<\/p>\n

“In New York, we will not be intimidated into silence. We will defend our neighbors, protect our immigrant families, and fight like hell for a future where every person\u2014regardless of immigration status\u2014can live safely, freely, and with dignity,” said Rojas, who represents District 34. She rallied alongside immigration advocates in Queens on Monday, in protest against the surge in ICE enforcement.<\/p>\n

New York Public Advocate Jumaane Williams canvassed Southeast Queens on Saturday to help educate residents on their rights around temporary protected status and immigration enforcement. It comes after a notice published by the Department of Homeland Security revealed that ICE would soon be outfitted with electric shock gloves<\/a> for operations.<\/p>\n
