Stewart also spoke extensively about this being a missed opportunity, the team's inconsistency being an issue this year and at one point said, "this is not like cramming for a test. You gotta be ready to go from the jump."

A review by The City Reporter of federal court records show Cuni participated in a number of warrantless arrests around NYC that federal judges later deemed illegal. In one of those cases, a judge ruled Cuni lied in sworn documents submitted in court.

Abolish ICE.
On Thursday October 8th, ICE shot a man in New York with his 5 year old next to him.

His child screamed, "Papa, don't die", while reaching for their father lying on the ground.

We cannot ever let this be normal.

Abolish ICE now.
