Did you know that if you can't afford an attorney in immigration court, one will be provided for you? APRIL FOOLS🤪 But man, don't we wish that were true. NY could be the 1st state to make it happen. Check out this proposed legislation and let your lawmakers know if you agree!

Immigrant NYers are core to the NYS' fabric and NY must ensure we can all thrive together. That is why the final NYS Budget must include: ⚖️$150M for CARE for Immigrant Families Campaign 🗣️$10M to expand #LanguageAccess 🏘️$250M for Housing Access Voucher Program 🩺Pass #Coverage4All

Chivoludo!! #Eclipse2024

NEW: "A modest investment of $150 million in immigrant legal services promises to yield tangible benefits from day one. This funding, comprising less than 0.07 percent of the total state budget proposed by the Governor and legislature..." Catalina Cruz, Esq. queenseagle.com/all/2024/4/11/…

Thank you Frank Williams making Buffalo proud n standing up for immigrant communities. It's a privilege to work on legislation from the beginning and all the drafts and back n forths to passage. Looking forward to the Assembly following and language access expansion becoming law!!

🚨 STATEMENT: Albany Falls Short for Immigrant NYers in State Budget "NYers are the State’s number one asset, and when we make intentional investments in them the rate of return is a thousand fold." Murad Awawdeh 🔗 nyic.org/2024/04/albany…

It became fashionable with DC pundits to say that most people who apply for asylum do not have valid claims. But the facts don't bear that out, as this TRAC Reports shows. From 2014-2024, Immigr Judges found that nearly 7 of 10 had a legal right to stay. trac.syr.edu/reports/742/
