    ICE ain’t ready for NYC.
    ICE agents raided Chinatown’s Canal Street on Tuesday afternoon, detaining several street vendors in an operation that drew immediate and fierce backlash from bystanders and immigrant advocates. amny.com/news/ice-agent…

    The Borough Hall plaza has been rid of cars and returned to the people. If you don’t know, now you know.

    8 million people live in NYC & 65 million more visit every year – cars can never serve as the primary means of getting around a city as big & bustling as ours. Congestion pricing will allow us to build the robust, safe, and efficient public transit we need. Today is a victory.

    First official day on the job as Brooklyn Borough President! I'm ready to get to work building a Brooklyn for all. #SpreadLove

    Ridiculous and indefensible to delay a (state-mandated!!) program designed to make our city safer, our people healthier, and our public transit more expansive and accessible for everyone. Congestion pricing is simply good governance.

    Islamophobia has no place in Brooklyn, and known hate groups like Betar US are not welcome here. I condemn this clear and antagonistic act of hate against our Muslim neighbors and stand with them in rejecting islamophobia of all kinds.
    Trigger Warning: The following video and statement contain descriptions of an Islamophobic attack, including hate-fueled violence and religious desecration. My statement regarding an Islamophobic incident in Kensington:

    The Mayor cannot lead this city, nor can he in good faith ask the public to put their trust in him. I ask the Mayor to put New Yorkers first and resign.

    Mahmoud Khalil's arrest is an outrageous attack on all of us.   The White House does not dictate who is entitled to free speech and due process. Whether you're a citizen, a green card holder, or undocumented—we are all protected by the Constitution.   Free Mahmoud Khalil now.
    Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist at Columbia, was arrested last night by ICE agents, who claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, his attorney told the AP. apnews.com/article/columb…

    City of Yes is a modest plan. It should be the floor – not the ceiling – of our efforts to address this housing crisis.    I urge my colleagues in the City Council to hold the line, be bold, and pass City of Yes without carveouts.   If you're going to do anything: do more.

    Rats are everywhere because our trash is everywhere. You supply the feast, the guests come. Simple as that. Universal containerized trash on every city block is the only way for us to truly and completely rid our streets of rats.

    Today I disapproved 962-972 Franklin Ave. @BrooklynBotanic is sacred, and this one-of-a-kind community resource deserves one-of-a-kind consideration. I will not support any development here that will create additional shadow impacts. This proposal fails to meet that standard.
