What I will make clear as the leader of the city is that the days of a mayor going on national television and opening the door to civil immigration enforcement, as Mayor Adams did, those days are coming to an end. The NYPD is not going to assist ICE in their operations and we are going to fulfill the laws of our city and our state, not violate them. So just to be clear, if a Canal street happened again, the NYPD commissioner on your watch would not be directing NYPD office, just stay out of it and let ICE do whatever they want. (30:29–30:38)
