  1. This is sad. According to @nysfocus, the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, which is New York's biggest #ICE detention center, has banned all #book deliveries. Rejected books have included an illustrated Spanish-English dictionary and “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work”.

    Advocates are arguing that the book ban "violates detainees’ First Amendment rights".

  2. #DemocracyNow: #NewYork Mayor Eric Adams Orders #RikersJail to Reopen ICE Office

    Headline, Apr 09, 2025

    "Here in New York, Mayor #EricAdams is reopening an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office inside the #RikersIsland jail complex. Adams first signaled the move after he met with Trump’s so-called border czar #TomHoman in February. The #NewYorkCivilLibertiesUnion slammed the Adams administration for 'selling out New Yorkers for Trump’s dangerous deportation regime.' The group said in a statement, '#ICE’s presence on Rikers serves no legitimate purpose, and opens the door to unlawful collusion between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials in violation of our city’s well-established sanctuary protections. … New Yorkers see this for what it is: Mayor Adams skirting the City Council, cozying up to Trump, and putting immigrant New Yorkers in harm’s way.'"
