A day after Mayor Bill de Blasio promised legal action to block President-elect Donald Trump‘s
proposed Muslim registry plan if implemented, he refused to give
specifics on what that action would look like—or how the city would
handle a retaliatory cut to federal funding to the New York City Housing Authority, the public hospital system or the NYPD.
At his anti-hate address at Cooper Union yesterday morning, de Blasio
vowed that if Trump were to move forward with a proposal to require
Muslims to file their personal information with the federal government,
he would fight it in court, echoing an assertion he made to the incoming
commander-in-chief during a private meeting last week.
He also said the city would provided undocumented New Yorkers with
lawyers to protect them and their families if the government tries to
deport them, and said New Yorkers should keep applying for the municipal
identification program because the city won’t turn over their records
to Washington.
