Unmasking the State: New York Forces ICE Into the Light

A major tactical and psychological victory is unfolding on the concrete steps of 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. For months, the federal deportation machine has operated like an anonymous militia, terrorizing immigrant communities under a cloak of state-sanctioned invisibility.
