“Katal & our partners have been fighting for over two years to get the City Council to weigh in on federal receivership at Rikers. The Council’s letter to the court indicates that our sustained organizing has worked," said @yonahzeitz in @QueensEagle.

Mayor Adams is selling out New Yorkers in exchange for a ‘get out of jail free’ card from President Trump. We reject the craven move by Adams to throw our immigrant neighbors under the bus. This is dangerous to communities in our city struggling to survive. Adams must resign!

Last night, the @NYCCouncil filed a letter in federal court around receivership at Rikers. For over two years, we've pressured the Council to weigh in on this case and hold @NYCMayor accountable for closing Rikers. #ShutRikers See our statement here:

@NYCMayor tells his commissioners “don’t criticize President Trump, don’t interfere with immigration enforcement and trust the mayor.” The only thing we trust about this mayor is that he’ll put his personal interests above those of everyday New Yorkers.

Since @NYCMayor took office, the cities jail population has increased by nearly 1,500. This has had a detrimental impact on these people, their families, and our entire communities. It comes at an immense human and fiscal cost. #ShutRikers #CutShutInvestNY
In 2023, there were 7.6 million jail admissions – and 1 in 4 of them was someone *returning* to jail for at least a 2nd time that year A single day in jail can have long-lasting effects on someone, and repeat bookings can take an even more dire toll
