Rep. Nydia Velazquez

Today in Puerto Rico, I stood with immigrant communities on the island who have endured months of terror at the hands of ICE.

Our immigrant neighbors are part of the fabric of this island. They deserve dignity.

ICE is beyond reform. It must be abolished.

I strongly condemn the antisemitic, graffiti discovered on Jewish community school buses. This hateful act has no place in our community or anywhere in our society. Every child deserves to feel safe regardless of their faith or identity. Those responsible must be held accountable. We must stand united against antisemitism and all forms of hate .Thank you to the 90th precinct for investigating this matter.

So relieved that everyone hurt in this afternoon’s crash at a Halloween event in Bushwick, including the kids, is in stable condition.

Thank you to the first responders who acted so quickly. Praying that everyone makes a full and speedy recovery.

Congratulations to @LulaOficial on a historic victory for working people, indigenous rights, and our global climate.

When we organize from the grassroots up, democracy wins. ✊🏽🌎🇧🇷
