You’re a small man exploiting a grieving family’s tragedy.
Sheridan Gorman’s killer should serve the maximum sentence possible and then be swiftly deported.
Nothing in our laws prevents violent criminals from being turned over to ICE, as we’ve done repeatedly under this administration.
But local police shouldn’t be pulled away from protecting New Yorkers to enforce civil immigration for a rogue federal agency that has killed Americans with impunity and terrorized communities across this country.

As I said a few weeks ago over
@GovKathyHochul’s support for this legislation, she is an asshole.
Public safety is strongest when lying politicians like Kathy get the hell out of the way and let law enforcement do their job.
Her bill prohibits local law enforcement from turning over violent and dangerous criminals to federal law enforcement.
Furthermore, she failed to honor detainers for 6,947 criminally convicted illegal immigrants.
Kathy, tell the family of Sheridan Gorman why criminal illegal immigrants matter more to you than the safety of New Yorkers and American citizens.

Earlier today, I spoke with the family of Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad and heard stories about the remarkable young woman they loved. Their strength in the face of tragedy moved me deeply and reinforced what New Yorkers already know: Sgt. Rampersad served our nation with extraordinary courage and made the ultimate sacrifice.
That is why I’m outraged to see her removed from the Pentagon’s official accounting of those killed in the Iran war. The Trump administration does not get to revise the human cost of this war because it has become politically inconvenient. Sgt. Rampersad gave her life in service to this country. Changing a website does not rewrite the truth of her sacrifice.
New Yorkers and the American people deserve a full explanation. I’m calling on the Pentagon to immediately restore Sgt. Rampersad’s name to its official accounting of those killed in the Iran war.

Working New Yorkers already do their part.
That’s why I made sure owners of ultra-luxury second homes contribute more to the city that makes New York the greatest in the world.
If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.
Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.
The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.
