Hit the hardest by coronavirus deaths, NY Latinos now mourn together.
"Are more public workers Latino and African Americans who don't have a choice, frankly, but who go out there every day and drive the bus and drive the train and show up for work and wind up subjecting themselves to, in this case, the virus?" said Cuomo."I think it's something that we have to understand."
"I remember that day very vividly," he said, adding that he was carrying out an order when he missed a call from his daughter."Then the text came in and said 'Mommy is dead.'"Salaam and his three children slept in their car as more than 24 hours went by before authorities came to certify Santiago's death and remove her body from the house. Salaam said detectives did not go in to the house and had the family take pictures of Santiago's body instead.
Det. Sophia Mason, a spokesperson at the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information, told NBC News in a statement that"NYPD procedure was not followed in this case and the matter is under internal review. We understand these are difficult times and we will continue to revisit our policies during this epidemic."
