Dozens of immigrants and advocates gathered outside of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Midtown office on Thursday, demanding that she push for the passage and enactment of the New York for All Act that would bar local and law enforcement and government agencies from collaborating with ICE.

The rally took place on International Migrants Day amid the ongoing Trump immigration crackdown that has seen hundreds of people detained at 26 Federal Plaza’s immigration court and other parts of the city; many of the detained abided with court appearance orders and do not have criminal records.
