New York City's Democratic mayoral candidates slam Andrew Cuomo in first debate
The Democrats who want to be New York City's next mayor squared off Wednesday in their first debate. Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo's position at the top of the polls going into the event made him the favorite punching bag of the other candidates, but he came determined to settle some scores after months of attacks from his opponents. Candidates bring up nursing home deaths, sexual harassment charges in debate Some of Cuomo's sharpest exchanges involved Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, who is second in the polls. "Donald Trump would go through Mr. Mamdani like a hot knife through butter. He's been in government 27 minutes. He passed three bills, that's all he's done. He has no experience with Washington, no experience with New York City. He would be Trump's delight," Cuomo said. "Look, it's true that I don't have experience with corrupt Trump billionaires who are funding my campaign. I don't have experience with party politics and insider consultants. I do have experience, however, with winning $450 million in debt relief for thousand of working class taxi drivers," Mamdani said. The frustration the other Democrats have in running against Cuomo was on full display. "With all the corruption that's in Washington, we can't have corruption here in New York City, as well. It's not only that Andrew Cuomo lied to Congress, which is perjury, he also lied to the grieving families whose loved ones he sent into those nursing homes to protect his $5 million book deal," City Comptroller Brad Lander said. Cuomo's resignation over sexual harassment charges also came up repeatedly. "The people who don't feel safe are young women, mothers and grandmothers around Andrew Cuomo. That's the greatest threat to public safety," former assemblymember Michael Blake said in response to a question about subway safety. Cuomo was given an opportunity to response to Blake's sexual harassment allegation. "People who are watching at home have to be incredibly frustrated. They defunded the police. They reduced the number of police," he said. "Every woman watching tonight – he was just given a chance to actually address the clear claims that were stated and ignored it," Blake said. The candidates were also given a chance to talk about their biggest regret in politics. "One of my regrets is having trusted the leaders within our own party, leaders like Andrew Cuomo," Mamdani said. Cuomo fired back when asked about his regret. "That we've gotten to a point where rhetoric has no connection with reality, where a person who has served in government for several years only passed three bills," he said. New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams slammed his response. "No regrets when it comes to slow walking PPE and vaccinations in the season of COVID to Black and Brown communities? Really, no regrets? No regrets?" she said. Israel, Knicks, rent discussed in mayoral debate The candidates were also asked which country they would visit first after being elected mayor. Adams said the Holy Land, and Cuomo, Whitney Tilson and former city comptroller Scott Stringer all said Israel. "I would stay in New York City. My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five boroughs and focus on that," said Mamdani, who has come under fire for his pro-Palestinian stance. "I believe that you need not travel to Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers." All the candidates agreed to limit helicopter traffic, and most think the New York Knicks made a mistake firing head coach Tom Thibodeau. Sen. Zellnor Myrie pays the lowest rent of all nine candidates – $1,300. Cuomo pays the most at $7,800, and Adams has paid off the mortgage on her home.

Mayor Wu defends calling ICE ‘secret police' after US ttorney says it a ‘false narrative'
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu defended her characterization of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as 'secret police' on Wednesday following scathing criticism by Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah Foley, who called Wu's comment a 'false narrative.' Federal immigration officers have not been 'sharing exactly who was arrested and why,' Wu told reporters when asked about Foley's criticism outside an unrelated event at Boston City Hall. 'The U.S. attorney is attacking me for saying what Bostonians see with their own eyes.' Read more: 'False narratives': Mass. US attorney blasts Boston Mayor Wu over remarks on ICE The exchange of criticism stems from comments Wu made about ICE during the WBUR Festival this past weekend. 'Every aspect of what's happening at the federal level is causing harm in our local communities,' the mayor said during an interview. 'People are terrified for their lives and for their neighbors, folks getting snatched off the street by secret police who are wearing masks, who can offer no justification for why certain people are being taken and then detained.' In a video shared on social media Wednesday morning, Foley called the 'secret police' comment offensive. She also pushed back against the idea that people are being 'snatched off the street' and said Wu's statements were 'reckless and inflammatory.' 'There are no secret police. ICE agents, along with other federal law enforcement partners, are making immigration arrests. That is no secret. They are arresting individuals who are here illegally, which is a violation of federal law,' the U.S. Attorney said. 'Every enforcement action is conducted within the bounds of the Constitution and our laws with oversight, legal justification and accountability. To claim otherwise is a gross misrepresentation and a disservice to the public.' Read more: ICE detained nearly 1,500 people in Mass. in one month During her response to Foley on Wednesday, Wu doubled down, justifying her characterization of ICE agents based on their mask-wearing, The Boston Globe reported. Boston police enforce the law 'without wearing masks, displaying their badges publicly, with body cameras that document the interactions that take place with full transparency, because we have nothing to hide,' she said. 'I don't know of any police department that routinely wears masks.' Wu went on to state that 'other groups routinely wear masks,' such as New England-based neo-Nazi group NSC131, the Globe reported.

'I'm sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I'm not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and family on the line,' he said. Lyons addressed the issue during a press conference in which he announced that ICE had detained nearly 1,500 people across Massachusetts during the month of May.
