"On September 18, I was arrested alongside a group of my colleagues demanding to see the conditions that many New Yorkers are being subjected to at 26 Federal Plaza. As a result of this arrest, I was given an Adjournment In Contemplation Dismissal (ACD) in accordance with the law."
"The irony of this does not escape me. While my colleagues and I were fortunate enough to be afforded due process, many of our neighbors are not being granted the same constitutional rights. As I have said before, I was incredibly proud to take this action not only as a legislator but as a New Yorker. The fight does not stop here, and I will continue to work legislatively and on the ground to protect our immigrant communities from the cruelty of this federal administration."
EDITOR 'S NOTE :
State Senator Rivera leaves out that part of the agreement with the U.S. Attorney's office was that State Senator Rivera and the others who took this plea must stay out of any trouble such as this for the next six months.
