John,

Last week, a never before seen ([link removed]) video ([link removed]) confirms what immigrant New Yorkers, attorneys, and families have long reported: ICE is secretly detaining people for days, even weeks, inside 26 Federal Plaza, the same administrative building where immigration court is held.

Despite ICE’s claims that it’s just a “holding center,” the footage released by the NYIC exposes overcrowded, unsanitary conditions, showing people sleeping on floors next to toilets, given only aluminum blankets to cover themselves while being denied showers and medication. This isn’t just inhumane; it’s illegal. Donate to the NYIC to fuel our efforts to support immigrant New Yorkers now! ([link removed])

Since May, ICE has been arresting people inside NYC immigration courthouses, ripping families apart after their immigration hearing, regardless of the fact that they are complying with the law by appearing in court. And when members of Congress tried to inspect the facility, ICE illegally turned them away, proving they have something to hide.

We’re fighting back with electeds and community allies to shut this facility down and uphold due process for all. But we need your help.
Fight for Immigrant Justice: Donate Now! ([link removed])

Not only should 26 Federal Plaza not be used as a detention blacksite, but the people being tricked and trapped at immigration court, should not be detained in the first place. They are simply following court orders to appear to move forward with their immigration relief applications. These actions undermine trust in our judicial system and everyone's right to due process.

No one should fear being kidnapped by ICE simply for attending their court hearings. No one should be held in inhumane conditions, cut off from their families. Together, we can fight for justice.

In power,

Murad Awawdeh
President and CEO
