Read the Newsweek editorial

 

To my fellow mayors: the Trump administration is attempting to twist our arms. In one breath, they lie about the tinderbox they've lit, and in the next, they demand we crack down on demonstrations and capitulate on our community values. They forget the job of a mayor isn't to control our populace, but to represent them.

I invite you to read my entire editorial at Newsweek.
