Summary

Amid Trump's aggressive anti-immigrant policies, grassroots responses are strengthening across US immigrant communities.

In New York, faith leaders like Pastor Juan Carlos Ruiz and organizations including South Brooklyn Sanctuary and New York Immigrant Coalition are providing crucial support through legal assistance, "know your rights" workshops, and sanctuary spaces.

These efforts have become more urgent as ICE arrests have exceeded 32,000 in Trump's first 50 days, with policies allowing enforcement at previously protected locations like churches and schools.

Immigrants express fear but continue to resist, finding refuge and community support. Community leaders stress the importance of solidarity and challenging systemic injustices.

That's what our 2nd amendment right is here for. If you have an immigrant visa, you can legally buy a gun. They should be aware of their rights to protect themselves.

Wait, really? Or do you mean just permanent residents? AFAIK non-LPR aren’t allowed to own guns.
