Here in New York, hundreds of immigrant justice activists rallied at the state Capitol in Albany Wednesday to demand Governor Kathy Hochul and lawmakers immediately enact legislation to protect immigrant New Yorkers ahead of Trump’s return to office. The bills include measures preventing cooperation with ICE and providing legal services to those who need it. Angel Reyes Rivas, from the group Make the Road New York, says he fears for his mixed-status family.

Angel Reyes Rivas: “New York state cannot be reactive. We need to be proactive. We shouldn’t wait for Trump to be elected to start pushing for this, right? We need to make sure that New York state becomes a state that is an example to the nation on how to treat people, how to treat immigrants, how to uphold human rights.”
