Socialist City Councilwoman Tiffany Caban (D-Queens) is pushing a resolution to excoriate President-elect Donald Trump for promising to deport undocumented immigrants.
The proposed legislation slams the incoming commander-in-chief for planning to use the military to potentially remove millions of illegal migrants, claiming their deportation could potentially devastate the nation’s economy and would be “inhumane.”
“This resolution reaffirms our commitment to protecting our immigrant neighbors and rejecting policies that harm families, communities and our city,” Caban said last week when introducing her legislation, which has so far only mustered a single co-sponsor, fellow far-left Councilwoman Alexa Aviles (D-Brooklyn).
Caban’s criticism flies in the face of a recent survey that found 54% of New Yorkers believe the Empire State should back Trump’s efforts, including 30% of liberals and 47% of Latinos.
Trump promised to launch the “largest deportation operation in American history” after returning to the White House this coming Sunday, having tapped Tom Homan to oversee the immigration crackdown.
