Nydia Velázquez: “Therefore, we must consider the many other drivers of inflation to create a comprehensive policy response, not play…”

I urge my colleagues not to engage in knee-jerk reactions that set back our real progress toward creating a more equitable criminal justice system.

We would never accept it if the NYPD operated in masks without names or badges—and we shouldn't accept it from ICE either.

If their operations are legitimate and above-board, why is there a need for anonymity, and why don't they need warrants to come onto private property?

We need to bring a national standard to ICE agents, and we need to bring transparency and accountability.
