In the District

Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today held an emergency press conference after witnessing and confronting masked ICE agents detaining immigrants attending routine immigration court appearances in the lobby of his 290 Broadway Manhattan district office. The press conference followed Congressman Goldman attending an immigration court proceeding this morning at the Executive Office for Immigration Review New York - Broadway Immigration Court in Manhattan where ICE agents have been detaining both immigrants and observers, including a pastor from Queens.

“For the past several days in New York’s 10th Congressional District in Lower Manhattan, masked, plain-clothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been stationed in the lobby of the federal building that houses immigration court in order to arrest immigrants coming out of court so they can be deported on an expedited basis. These arrests are part of a coordinated effort within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) where DHS lawyers move to dismiss deportation proceedings against these immigrants – most of whom do not speak English nor have legal representation -- in order to place them in a different, “expedited” deportation proceeding. 

“A month ago, the Trump Administration arbitrarily stalled New York’s clean energy transition by placing a stop work order on the Empire Wind 1 wind-farm project, and along with it the promise of 1,500 well-paying union jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars in supply chain investments, and clean energy to 500,000 New York homes. “But today, after relentless advocacy from a coalition of elected officials, organized labor, and advocacy groups, we’re back on track.
