In a series of Tweets, NYC Mayor and 2020 Presidential candidate Bill de Blasio made it crystal clear he stands with illegals over ICE.
Let’s be blunt here: @realDonaldTrump has turned ICE into a political weapon against our immigrant communities. To everyone worried this weekend: this is your city. We will do everything we can to protect you.

New Yorkers who are approached by ICE: You have rights.
If you’re worried about being separated from a child, you can choose a backup caregiver called a “standby guardian.”
Call 311 and say ActionNYC for more legal advice. Head to http://nyc.gov/KnowYourRights for more information.

Many fired back at de Blasio’s tweets.
I read this and I'm confused. ICE emforcement goes in to do their job, yet the mayor is telling illegals they have rights and can call a number for help??? Sorry, but isn't that obstruction of justice of some sort. Also noticed many people don't like this mayor.

Since when does one have rights when they are not a citizen nor here legally?
