- Statement regarding the passing of Senior Assistant District Attorney Sarah Pitts:
- 📢 New York’s #RedFlagLaw goes into effect today. The law gives New Yorkers a new way to prevent gun violence when there is evidence that someone is likely to harm themselves or others. @BrianKavanaghNY @JoAnneSimonBK52 @NYAGV1 @bradybuzz @MomsDemand
- 📣 NEWS: We won our lawsuit against ICE, filed together with @NewYorkStateAG ! ICE is now enjoined from making arrests in and around our courthouses. That dangerous policy created a chilling effect in immigrant communities and jeopardized public safety. My full statement:
- If you have photos or videos of alleged police brutality and other unlawful activity during the protests, you can email us at [email protected].
- Earlier today, I announced my Office’s new program to erase misdemeanor #marijuana convictions. This is a big deal, and part of our promise to enhance fairness and equity. #Justice2020 #cjreform Full press release ➡️ bit.ly/2wSgbGc 📺 WATCH: facebook.com/BrooklynDA/vid…
- #BREAKING: Today, we are sharing the findings of my Conviction Review Unit in a report titled “426 Years: An Examination of 25 Wrongful Convictions in Brooklyn, New York,” a first-of-its-kind study conducted with @innocence and @wilmerhale. bit.ly/320Fsza
- I offer my deep condolences to the Jewish community in Brooklyn and beyond as we mourn yesterday’s mass shooting in Jersey City. Crimes of hate have no place in our society and we must stand united in rooting out this evil.
- We are using every tool we have to keep our communities safe and get guns off the streets. Join us this SATURDAY, JAN. 30 from 10 AM-2 PM at the Bethesda Healing Center in Brownsville for our gun buyback event. ❌NO ARRESTS ❌NO ID REQUIRED ❌NO QUESTIONS ASKED
- BREAKING: We are filing two separate lawsuits against ICE challenging the legality of the agency’s practice of making civil immigration arrests without a judicial warrant or court order in and around New York State courthouses. ag.ny.gov/sites/default/… #ICEOut
- This Task Force will enhance community trust in fairness and equal access to the COVID-19 vaccine.NYS has formed the Vaccine Equity Task Force, co-chaired by @rorosado, @NewYorkStateAG, @MARCMORIAL and @HealthfirstNY CEO Pat Wang. The Task Force will break down barriers to vaccination & ensure a fair distribution. NYers must have trust, confidence & access to the vaccine.
- NY lawmakers must pass the bill which helps protect survivors of human trafficking and the bill which would repeal the discriminatory loitering for prostitution law. Both are necessary to protect marginalized populations and reduce harm. I strongly support these two bills.
