New York councilman Joe Borelli has called on President Donald Trump to “immediately revoke” the $600 federal unemployment benefits for those who are arrested for looting amid mass protests throughout the city.

Borelli said that several nights of looting and violence across the city, prompted by the death of African American man George Floyd last week, have left many New Yorkers scared to travel to work.
