00:00My message to ICE agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the

00:08same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable. And there is sadly

00:14a sense that is growing across this country that certain people are allowed to violate that law,

00:19whether they be the president or whether they be the agents themselves. New Yorkers are facing

00:23twin crises in this moment, an authoritarian administration and an affordability crisis.

00:28And it'll be my job to deliver on both. It'll be my job to stand up for the city and also to ensure

00:34that we do not look at Washington, D.C. as if it is the reason for all of the problems right here

00:39in New York City. I will not mince my words when it comes to President Trump. I will continue

00:43to describe his actions as they are. And I will also always do so while leaving a door open to

00:50have that conversation, because it cannot be understood as if it is an argument between two

00:56individuals.
