New York City has an immigration commissioner.

We should have the same, and we should have a clearinghouse for people who are distressed, who have a problem, who maybe their attorneys have turned on them.

People might be scared to reach out to that office or come to that office.

But that's because me as the former immigration director is the mayor.

I'm going to be there to tell them, you know what, I'm here for you.

I know who to go see in Washington if somebody crosses the line.

The 287G program is very controversial.

I believe the city of Miami is limited to three officers and they're kind of on call.

To my knowledge, they're not always assigned to DHS.

And again, I will always, always advocate for my community, for my immigrant community, but I'm never going to ever

advocate what other mayors in large cities do, which is you got a thief, a thug, a rapist, a murderer.

Oh no, let's put them back on the street because I don't want to give this person to ICE.

No, that's never going to happen.

I'm going to pick a new city manager within the week.

I want to create an immediate task force on permitting, an immediate task force on procurement.

I want to publish a citizen's bill of rights, which does exist in every city agency, so that residents, when they go in, they know what their rights are.

They know that their rights can't be trampled.
