"We can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights."
"ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent. If you're being detained, you may always ask, 'Am I free to go?' repeatedly until they answer you,"
"New York will always welcome immigrants, and I will fight each and every day to protect, support, and celebrate our immigrant brothers and sisters,"

Federal enforcement operations are occurring in multiple cities, including New Orleans.
