New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed Executive Order No. 13 to shield residents from federal immigration enforcement, barring city agencies from sharing city-held information with DHS unless legally required, requiring internal privacy officers within 14 days, auditing agency policies (NYPD, Department of Correction, Probation, Administration for Children's Services, and Department of Social Services), and prohibiting entry to city property without a warrant. The city also launched a Know Your Rights campaign distributing over 30,000 multilingual flyers, while DHS criticized the move as undermining public safety.

Human Rights Campaign declares state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans under attack.

The Human Rights Campaign has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans in response to the surge in discriminatory legislation sweeping state houses this year. The organization has released a guidebook pointing to laws it deems discriminatory in each state, along with “know your rights” information and resources to help people relocate to states with stronger LGBTQ+ protections. The HRC is calling for action from people in power at every level of government and the business community to fight for LGBTQ+ rights with the same fervor as they’ve fought for abortion rights.
