00:00First, I just want to make clear that the news coming out of Minneapolis is horrific.
00:05This is one part of what has been a year full of cruelty.
00:12And we know that when ICE agents attack immigrants, they attack every single one of us across this country.
00:17And this is a city and will always be a city that stands up for immigrants across the five boroughs.
00:22And I have made it clear to everyone within my city government, and that extends to NYPD, that we are going to uphold our sanctuary city policies.
00:34We are going to adhere to them.
00:37That is why one of the 11 executive orders that we signed was to repeal the previous administration's order to allow for collaboration with ICE on Rikers Island.
00:47What we are going to be doing is following the laws that we have set, laws which have kept New Yorkers safe.
00:54And we are going to make it clear to each and every person in the city what their rights are.
00:58That's why we took the time to make a Know Your Rights video, because it goes back to the earlier question.
01:03If you don't know of your rights, then how can you be expected to actually use those rights?
01:07So we are going to take every opportunity we have to inform New Yorkers of what they already can do, and also to make it clear to our own city government agencies and departments across the board, including NYPD, that we are not here to assist ICE agents in their work.
01:24We are here to follow the laws of New York City.
