These are all of his bills.

I had to fix his mess.

And so Madani's call to defund police, his calls to legalize prostitution, his calls to empty Rikers Island, they're two of the same people.

New York has come too far to go backwards with either one of them.

Well, I've been clear, and I don't believe if someone steals an apple that we should hold them in jail because they can't afford to get out.

But if you are possessing an illegal weapon, you commit one of the seven major crime categories in our city, you are repeatedly an offender, we need to look at the criminal justice system that allows you to continue to go back and you repeat the crime.

We saw what happened with the Custom Border Patrol agent.

These were repeated offenders.

We just had a shooting over the weekend.

The individuals involved, they had several gun arrests.

That just can't continue to happen.

And so using bail appropriately, I think it would help us deal with the public safety issue we're facing in the city.

When you remove bail on those who commit serious crimes, it will impact your public safety.

We are witnessing that over and over again.

And so we want to be clear, ICE has not been in our schools.

ICE, the only way they could come into the schools with clear judicial warrants or if they are looking at a condition where someone is fleeing, running into the school, a dangerous person, but that's the role of our police officers to do so.

And we have been extremely consistent around this.

Children should go to school.

They're not going to be fearful of having ICE come into their schools.
