Big-City Mayors

As for so many across this country, [Bernie Sanders] has been the single most influential political figure in my life.

Blatant abuse of power

Please, please do not give the [Trump] administration an excuse to intervene.

You know, we're not against protests. We want people to exercise their First Amendment rights, that is part of our American tradition and system.

We don’t want them here. They don’t need to be here. Our local law enforcement have complete control of this situation.

There is so much happening in the world, and this is Boston's statement that we are home for everyone. We are going to continue to stand strong and be a welcoming community.

He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he's incapable of even a train of thought.

A big day for the Constitution of the United States and our democracy.

I hope it’s the beginning of a new day in this country where we push back against overreach

New York City is also the greatest democracy of the globe and part of our great democracy is the ability to peacefully protest.

We're not going to solve anything by chasing people at car washes, by intimidating families in their schools or by sending troops into an American city.

We are here today because the raids have caused fear and panic.

Maybe he actually believed he said those things and he’s not all there. I mean that.

There are entire sectors of our economy that will not function if the immigrant community is too afraid to go to work and too afraid to go to school.

You can’t possibly be supporting immigrants and vandalize our city.
