I think that this is - the President's rhetoric is all part of a perpetual re-election strategy where he demonizes and dismisses cities where he's not going to get a substantial vote.
We're not going to tolerate it on our watch and we're going to do everything we can to make sure people who come to the city, whatever their immigration status is, are going to be treated fairly and with respect.
We have notorious police officers here. Jon Burge and others who have done horrible things, cost the city literally hundreds of millions of dollars. And yet Jon Burge, one of the most notorious police, torturers, probably in the United States, he died collecting his pension.
The best thing to do is reach out, have honest dialogue and then try to form a partnership about how we can address these challenges together. You don't govern by tweet.
