    Agents held him on the ground with 3 guns pointed at him, cuffed him, illegally searched him, tried to search his phone, accused him of having a gun. All they found was his military/veteran id. They held him for 10 minutes looking for something to justify their attack on him.

    Marijuana prohibition has harmed communities for too long and this is ONE step in addressing those harms. But undocumented immigrants are explicitly written out of this pardon & might still be detained/deported because of simple possession, thanks to our punitive immigration laws

    As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.

    THING TO KNOW: the officers tried search his phone without his consent, but because he uses a passcode, not fingerprint/face unlock, they couldn’t. Disable the fingerprint/face unlock and use 6+ digit passcodes! 🔑🔑

    ICE is engaged in violent policing & NY must protect noncitizens, incl. protestors who are being targeted & criminalized for dissent. 100s of people are arrested & charged at courthouses where we know ICE stakes out. NY must pass #ICEOutofCourts NOW! @bradhoylman @MichaelleSolage
