The killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE is a national alarm, echoing the murder of George Floyd. It confirms that ICE is a rogue police force, and its violence—disproportionately targeting Black and Brown immigrants—is enabled by local cooperation. New York must end its complicity. Data shows ICE operations rely on state and local systems. Our jails, courts, and police are pipelines to deportation and death. Simultaneously, U.S. foreign policy—from historic coups to modern sanctions—drives the displacement of peoples who then face our border regime. New York can lead a real break. We demand you enact a true sanctuary, defined by abolition and repair: 1. Pass the "Protect New Yorkers from ICE Act": Ban all state/local cooperation with ICE/CBP, including database sharing and facility access. Fund universal representation for all facing deportation. 2. Enact the "NY CARE Act": Divest billions from policing and incarceration into non-police crisis response, social housing, and community-based safety. 3. Provide Universal State Benefits: Guarantee healthcare, tuition aid, and all state programs to every resident, regardless of immigration status. 4. Leverage State Economic Power: Mandate pension fund divestment from private prisons, border tech, and extractive industries displacing communities abroad. Stop funding the systems that criminalize and displace people. Instead, build the world that makes them obsolete: one of universal care, economic justice, and the right to remain.
