When I went to his website, I first got this pop-up message:


"Know Your Immigration Rights

If you or a loved one encounter immigration enforcement officials, it is essential that you know your rights and have prepared your household for all possible outcomes.

Ask for a warrant: The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects you from unreasonable search and seizure. You do not have to open your door until you see a valid warrant to enter your home or search your belongings.

Your right to remain silent: The Fifth Amendment protects your right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. You are not required to share any personal information such as your place of birth, immigration status or criminal history.

Always consult an attorney: You have a right to speak with an attorney. You do not have to sign anything or hand officials any documents without speaking to an attorney. Try to identify and consult one in advance.

The New York City Office of Civil Justice and the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) support a variety of free immigration legal services through local nonprofit legal organizations. To access these resources, dial 311 and say “Action NYC,” call the MOIA Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. or visit MOIA’s website.

Thought that was a great pop-up message, but he needs to know that he would
have the support of the party base to encourage our House caucus to oppose ICE funding!!

(I sense that he is following 'the Obama model: don't be the 'angry black man'---
but a hell of a lot of WHITE people are angry over this ICY-TRUMP over-reach,
so he should be encouraged to show some flames, and LEAD the party caucus!)



(( And technically, "whipping" the vote isn't in his job description,
that's the party whip's job--- but the weight of the caucus leader
IS called for, in our current situation! He needs to hear from
rank-and-file nationwide Democrats who want him to DO that!!))
