Read the full report here

At a time of great uncertainty for immigrant communities, MOIA remains steadfast in its commitment to empower immigrant New Yorkers and protect and strengthen our sanctuary city laws. This report outlines the challenges that immigrant New Yorkers face, demonstrates through data the demographics of the immigrant population in New York City, and presents programmatic updates, the robust communications and outreach to immigrant communities, and interagency work that MOIA has led in 2025 to improve the wellbeing of immigrant New Yorkers.

This office seeks to address the many challenges, new and existing, facing immigrants by focusing on key areas outlined by MOIA's new Commissioner Faiza Ali:

  • Protect immigrants, due process, and uphold sanctuary law and policies
  • Build durable and coordinated systems
  • Advance affordability, worker protection, and economic inclusion     
  • Reduce fear and increase public trust    

Our team looks forward to continuing its work on behalf of New York City’s immigrant communities.
