I want to be very clear, I am grateful for their service and the reason is because for nights like tonight. We think of them as law enforcement officers, but I see mothers and fathers sons and daughters, brothers and sisters.

Former mayors
ICE agents whisked him away from the hospital in Upper Manhattan.
I spent two hours on the phone with President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin in a failed attempt to get Belgal released.
Thank god that child is physically unharmed.
When ICE agents opened fire, a 5-year-old child — a 5-year-old child — was in the back seat of that car.
The Mayor and the NYPD will review all of the events of the last 24 hours.
What happened today was an outrage. When ICE agents opened fire, a five-year-old child – a five-year-old child! – was in the back seat of that car. Thank God that child is physically unharmed.
There must be room to mourn the lives of the more than 1,100 that Hamas killed three years ago; there must be room to mourn the 74,000 Palestinians that the Israeli government has killed since.
I believe that there must be room to mourn every single life.
I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorise our communities.
It was an "unconscionable and incredibly serious situation".
Following the deadly shooting of Jameson, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ordered a review of dog encounters when it comes to deadly force.
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds.
It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians — including more than 21,000 children.
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians — including more than 21,000 children.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them — all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
This announcement is a job creator and an economic engine that will benefit our entire state.
The SILENCE from JD Vance and Marco Rubio today is deafening.
I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the President’s remarks as an invitation to target California.
Gavin Newsom, the state’s governor, called the remarks “dangerous – if not treasonous – putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.”
No American city, regardless of its politics or geography, should ever be described as expendable or an acceptable price to pay.
