Hospitals
“I think I just want to uplift. I want them— I too want them out of our hospitals. I too want to remove all barriers for any New Yorker to seek access and care. So that’s getting ICE out of our hospitals, Rikers, schools, etc.”— Jennifer Gutiérrez, Member · Committee on Hospitals

New York City Council
“Today I am urging my colleagues to vote aye on Intro 1412, the Safer Sanctuary Act. Our sanctuary laws exist for one reason, and it’s to keep people safe.”— Tiffany L. Cabán, Council member · New York City Council

“In one incident, ICE agents were given access to the resident sign-in book. Have you done any follow-up to see what names they were given access to and taken any safety measures for those people?”— Sandy Nurse, Member · Committee on General Welfare

New York City Council
“I’m voting no on Intro 55A. The requirement to post signage in city buildings including schools promoting sanctuary city policies is inappropriate and politicizes the immigration enforcement.”— Vickie Paladino, Council member · New York City Council
