His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

26 other states have removed lifetime jury service bans for those with felony convictions, including Louisiana & Florida.

Proud to join the Communities Not Cages campaign for our damp but defiant kickoff rally today in Foley Square. NY’s sentencing laws haven't been meaningfully updated in over 50 years. It's time to change that. 💪
