Statement from New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer

“I am deeply disturbed by reports​ that McKinsey & Company proposed cuts to food and medical care, as well as accelerated deportation, in the name of reducing costs at ICE.

“These are human beings, not budget line items.

“New York City has worked with McKinsey on a variety of projects, including in the Department of Correction. In light of these outrageous reports, I seriously question whether this is a company we should continue to entrust with taxpayer dollars and sensitive projects.

“I am calling on the City to reconsider any future relationships with McKinsey and ensure that any contracted work is aligned with our values as a city.

“Efficiency cannot come at the expense of morality.”
