In the District

NEW YORK, NY - Today U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) gained access to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities at 26 Federal Plaza to conduct their congressional oversight duties. The oversight visit marks the first time under the Trump Administration that Members of Congress have been allowed access to these facilities in order to exercise their lawful congressional duties of inspecting immigration detention facilities to ensure the safety of detained individuals and compliance with federal law.

Washington, DC - Today, U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (NY-10) announced that he and 11 colleagues have successfully halted ICE’s unlawful policy of blocking members of Congress from conducting unannounced oversight visits to ICE facilities, including field offices. Members can now return to their lawful duties of inspecting immigration detention facilities to ensure the safety of detained individuals and compliance with federal law. The District Court opinion is a major win for the rule of law, Congress’s statutorily authorized oversight powers, and the protection of our immigrant communities.

New York, NY - Today, U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (NY-10), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Nydia Velazquez (NY-7), and House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia (CA-42) introduced the Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act, new legislation that aims to protect immigrants who are pursuing lawful pathways to migrate to the United States and attending their court-ordered appearances from being targeted for arrests by the Trump Administration. The legislation would prohibit U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers or agents from arresting or detaining an individual that is physically present at an Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration court facility for the purpose of attending or participating in a hearing, except pursuant to a judicial warrant. These protections would extend to individuals whose immigration case is still active and has not resulted in a final order of removal.

NEW YORK, NY – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today sent a letter to NYPD Commissioner Tisch seeking information about the November 12 incident in which several NYPD officers were injured while responding to what appeared to be a violent crime, which in actuality involved Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who had failed to properly identify themselves.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Rob Menendez (NJ-08) introduced the Communities Before Air Tourism Act, legislation that would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Park Service (NPS) to consult with communities under air-tour routes before entering into Air Tour Management voluntary agreements with helicopter operators.
