Yesterday, a federal judge dismissed the federal government’s lawsuit challenging New York City’s sanctuary city laws. 
 
This decision is a win for our city, as these local laws are critical to ensuring that all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status, can access essential public services without fear. 
 
In response to this decision, Faiza N. Ali, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, released the following statement:

On Wednesday, MOIA Commissioner Faiza N. Ali joined NICE at their Blueprint to Reality Gala to celebrate 26 years of supporting NYC immigrants with professional and educational programs to advance their careers. We also thank NICE for your long-term partnership in connecting immigrant New Yorkers with essential legal immigration support services, including Immigrant Rights Workshops.  
 
At MOIA, we know that building a New York City where immigrants can live with dignity, safety, and opportunity, would not be possible without dedicated partners like NICE. We look forward to working together for many more years.

MOIA Commissioner Faiza N. Ali attended for a panel discussion alongside Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels, ’ and Alex Segura about NYC’s first-ever Comic Book!

The comic book gives students and families practical information about what to do if they encounter federal immigration enforcement, including ICE.

It doesn’t just tell people what their rights are—it helps them feel prepared, helps them know where to get help and reminds them that they don’t have to face situations alone.
