Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

The job is to represent and take care of people. Instead millions will suffer.
Republicans in Congress won’t come back to work to protect your health care. They won’t come back to work to extend SNAP funding. They’re off on vacation.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.
