Hundreds of Long Islanders lined Suffolk Avenue on the corner of Brentwood Parkway on Sunday afternoon in a rally against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rounding up immigrants in their communities.
The “Keep Our Families Together Rally” was organized by the Islip Forward Organization, a community collective that empowers residents through advocacy and civic engagement to demand protection for immigrant families and accountability and transparency from the government. New York State Assembly Deputy Speaker Phil Ramos (D-Brentwood), founder of Islip Forward Ahmad Perez and Pilar Moya of Latinos United Long Island, along with other speakers, addressed the crowd in a news conference.
