WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - New York NY - New York City NYC - THE CITY SCOOP - New Yorkers are using whistles to warn about ICE raids.

Dear New Yorkers,
While ICE activity on New York City streets appears to be increasing, it’s yet to approach the intensity of raids in Chicago that have involved tear gas and even agents rappelling down a high-rise building into private apartments.
But New Yorkers responding to raids and bracing for more are taking a cue from people there and in other cities by passing out thousands of whistles in recent weeks as a low-tech way to alert people of federal immigration enforcement when they see it.
In Corona, Queens, earlier this month, activists responded when masked federal officers showed up in Corona, Queens and started arresting Latino men, seemingly stopped at random. The volunteers handed out whistles that neighbors used to alert each other about the danger as the officers returned twice more.
“It was kind of a beautiful thing,” one volunteer recalled, even as seven people were nonetheless arrested in the neighborhood over the course of the day. Read more about organizers’ efforts to spread “that resistance energy.”

A Major Milestone in Midtown Manhattan
In October, JPMorganChase opened its new global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue, which is the city’s largest all-electric skyscraper with net-zero operational emissions and features 2.5 times more public street-level outdoor space than the previous building. Construction created 8,000 jobs across 40 local unions and improved MTA infrastructure under the surrounding blocks. Designed to accommodate 10,000 employees and thousands of guests, the office underlines the firm’s commitment to New York City—and the $42 billion JPMorganChase contributes to the city’s economy, supporting an additional 40,000 jobs across local industries.
