Since January 1, we have seen the fewest murders, shooting victims and shooting incidents in our city's history, and the safest start of the year in public housing.
This progress is the result of the hard work of the members of the NYPD and tens of thousands of public servants across City government who keep New Yorkers safe every day.
We're not resting on our laurels. We will continue the work of building a city where everyone is safe.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
🚨BREAKING: NEW footage proves DHS lied.
U.S. citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti never pulled his LEGAL FIREARM on ICE/Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis…
Even when HIS LIFE was in danger.
He was helping one woman when an agent violently shoved another. Alex stepped in to help.
The agent assaulted him, shoving him back and pepper spraying him in the face.
Alex turns away. The agent doesn’t stop… he jumps on Alex’s back, trying to spray him continuously.
Multiple agents then jump him… kicking him and hitting him with gas canisters, as Alex is on his hands and knees trying to protect himself.
An agent in grey grabs Alex’s LEGAL FIREARM… which Alex never pulled.
And then… agents opened fire on an unarmed U.S. citizen.
Alex was never a threat.
Agents’ lives were never in danger.
The only life in danger was Alex’s… and he still never drew his weapon.
ICE/Border Patrol removed a U.S. citizen’s legal firearm…
Then killed him for exercising his Second Amendment right.
After much thought and prayer, I've decided to retire from the NFL. It's been an incredible 11-year journey filled with unforgettable moments and amazing people. From being drafted by the Eagles to winning the Super Bowl, every step has been a blessing.
I'm excited to spend more time with my family and embrace the next chapter of my life. Thank you to all my teammates, coaches, team staff, and fans for your unwavering support. I am forever grateful.
