First and foremost, I want to be very clear that there was no prior coordination or planning between the NYPD and ICE ahead of this incident. NYPD officers were not dispatched to the hospital to participate or facilitate an ICE operation. Rather, they were responding to 911 calls regarding a protest outside of the hospital. And as I've made very clear that our laws leave nothing, no room for interpretation, about the fact that our NYPD was, will not participate in civil immigration enforcement. (24:18–24:25)
