NYC mother of shot baby calls for reforms to bail law, Rikers ahead of Biden’s visit
Fox News
The New York City mother of an 11-month-old girl who was struck by a stray bullet in the Bronx last month when she was caught in the crossfire of a gunfight is calling for reforms, telling Fox News Digital, "Safety and right to life, liberty and justice matter."
"These judges shouldn’t feel pressed to release individuals that carry a weapon, they should be pressed to charge them," Gomez said in a message to Fox News Digital. "Who cares if Rikers fills up? Isn’t that what jail is for? To house the criminals." "Color and race don't matter. Our safety and right to life, liberty and justice matter. Let's work on the justice and safety for ALL people."
