New Criminal Justice Initiatives
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance discusses several new initiatives aimed at preventing crime, improving access to services for victims, and increasing options to divert youth from the criminal justice system.
He also weighed in on yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on Obama's immigration plan, which Mayor de Blasio says will cause hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to lose their protection against deportation.
Vance said his office will continue to protect all New Yorkers regardless of immigration status.
