I’m introducing a law today to keep ICE off Rikers. We must protect New Yorkers from modern-day storm troopers.

Our fascist border czar Tom Honan is protected from the consequences of allegedly accepting $50,000 in an FBI sting operation because he’s implementing Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda.

We’ve seen up close what loyalty to this poisonous politics buys you. Our disgraced Mayor can get let off of bribery charges as long as he kisses the ring.

It’s a page from Trump’s authoritarian playbook: using legal scare tactics against anyone who dares challenge his chaos & corruption. The President indicts his enemies, yet rewards blatant corruption in his favor.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

What’s happening at 26 Federal Plaza is morally depraved and ICE is resorting to assaulting journalists to try to keep the public in the dark. We must shine a light on the shameful family separations and the inhumane immigrant detention taking place in our city. www.amny.com/immigration/...

I’m grateful that action is being taken to address yesterday’s violence at 26 Federal Plaza.

When we insistently bear witness, there are limits to the cruelty people will support. Even Trump’s ICE can’t escape that indefinitely.
