00:00supplies. And I accepted the supplies. I was not going to say, no, I'm not going to take
00:07N95 masks because you're a Republican. No, it's just a more, I don't think we had this
00:22discussion in the primary at all to this extent.
00:52So he said you will defend Sanctuary City, but the truth is that right now there's a very well-established relationship between New York City and ICE.
01:02What can you really do specifically to defend families of members who are non-feminists, who are abiding by the law, and they are contributing to New York City?
01:13Yeah, this is, well, this is case in point. When it comes to immigration, we have a Sanctuary City law, which I would uphold and fight for.
01:26By the way, I passed, the state has a Sanctuary State law, which I did by executive order.
01:33So state Sanctuary City policy, state Sanctuary law, New York City Sanctuary City policy, I would enforce them 100%.
01:44I do believe Mayor Adams has compromised his position. I do believe as part of the deal he made with the president, he has agreed to cooperate with the immigration authorities.
01:58I think he put his own personal interest ahead of the interest of New Yorkers.
02:04I think that was a violation of his oath, and I think he did a disservice to all New Yorkers.
02:13I will oppose any violation of the Sanctuary City law.
02:19You're also right that President Trump did say dangerous criminals, and on dangerous criminals, yes, we don't harbor criminals in New York City.
02:36And if there's a dangerous criminal who is convicted of a crime and is here illegally, we'll work with them to deport that person.
02:44But you have people here who have been working for years, paying taxes, doing jobs that nobody else wants to do, frankly, providing a service to this city.
03:00Why would you want to disrupt their families?
03:04For what purpose?
03:07They're posing no burden to anyone.
03:11As a matter of fact, they are a benefit.
03:13But can you really get through the president, Mr. Holden?
03:16Do you have a relationship that you can actually get through to that?
03:19Do you have a person before?
03:22Look, I will do everything that I can do.
03:26I would sue.
03:28I would lobby.
03:29I would beseech him personally.
03:32I would do everything that I could do because I think it's morally wrong.
03:40And on a human level, it is very, very disturbing.
03:46I mean, I talk to families who are just afraid to go out of the house.
03:50They're afraid to send a child to school.
03:53Workers who are afraid to drive their car because they're afraid they may get pulled over,
03:59and somehow that winds up expediting them to deportation.
04:05So I would do any and all of the above.
04:10Thank you, everybody.
04:11Now we have a last question by the Justice Department.
