Ahead of the council vote, there was a faceoff between supporters and opponents. Moms For Liberty held a protest outside city hall.

Moms for Liberty is protesting liberty. What a time to be alive

Famously the statue of Liberty says " Bring us your wealthy, your heterosexual whites, Your Christian elite yearning to breathe free"

Hah, Dirty Blvd by Lou Reed:

Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
