What the council members said
39:56ICE and immigration enforcement
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 PaladinoCouncil member · New York City Council · Jun 11, 2026Open the meeting at 39:56
23:42Shelters and homelessnessI’m going to pull a Tiffany Caban and stand up. Today’s settlement— see, she even shows me how— today’s settlement, the fiscal year ‘27 budget, and this legislation represent a historic agreement that will finally expand housing vouchers for New Yorkers facing homelessness.

43:38ICE and immigration enforcementIn December, the Department of Homeland Security launched Operation Metro Surge, which saw the deployment of over over 3,000 masked and armed federal agents in the Twin Cities, which destabilized and traumatized our neighbors.

Six council members are in the running for most talk time
Frank Morano, Mercedes Narcisse, Pierina Ana Sanchez, David M. Carr, Tiffany L. Cabán, and Shanel Thomas-Henry each average 1.4 to 3.1 minutes a meeting, and each could rank first; the data can’t order them. Full-council meetings here are mostly votes; members question city agencies in committee. Each committee’s page has its own chart.
