Last week, ICE agents violently broke into a family’s home, pointing guns at children, dragging a mother from her bed, and terrorizing an entire block. A short video of the incident has been circulating, but the truth is this goes far beyond one moment caught on camera. What happened in Queens last week is a stark reminder of the danger immigrant New Yorkers face every day regardless of status.
This experience reflects a pattern of cruelty and lawless behavior that is tearing families apart. Across our city, immigrants are enduring terrifying raids, unlawful detentions, and abuse in custody. Parents are being disappeared on their way to pick up their kids from school, while their children are left traumatized. Families are being churned into a system designed to break them down.
Those who have been detained, those who are left behind, and those who are fighting to stay free need urgent support now.
Your contributions to our Emergency Justice Fund will help provide direct cash assistance to immigrants who have been detained. All donations raised will go directly to immigrants to assist family support needs, legal fees, housing, and other basic needs.
Please consider becoming a monthly donor at any meaningful amount to stand with families whose safety, dignity, and freedom are under attack.
