Our Solutions for Addressing Maternal Health Disparities

“For months, the mayor has lied to New Yorkers about what sanctuary cities are, claiming it is impossible to advance public safety under our current sanctuary laws. Yet today, with those laws still in place, he trumpeted a joint federal and local effort to get gangs and guns off the streets – disproving his own arguments. He willfully exploits conflation and confusion between legitimate law enforcement and the abuses he continues to support.

“Following the specifics of the law, or being honest about them, has never been a focus for this mayor or this president. Just hours ago, the mayor said he didn’t have a problem with the Trump administration’s extralegal removal of people to a notorious prison in El Salvador. It seems that the real joint effort between the mayor and the White House is to lie about public safety for political gain, demonize immigrants, and weaponize fear to justify the worst of their actions.”
