"The Trump administration's sweeping campaign of suspicionless stops and warrantless immigration arrests without probable cause is terrorizing New York communities and tearing families apart."
"New Yorkers should be able to go about their daily lives without fear of being targeted by masked federal agents because of the color of their skin."
A federal lawsuit was filed by eight Latino New Yorkers and civil liberties groups against the Trump administration, alleging that Homeland Security agents target individuals for immigration enforcement based on perceived race and ethnicity.

The complaint highlights a significant increase in arrests in New York City, creating fear within communities.
