Yesterday morning, Kayla Santosuosso was sworn in at The High School of Telecommunications.
Unlike Justin Brannan, Santosuosso didn’t invite the community to the event. She didn’t even mention it on social media: https://www.instagram.com/councilmemberkayla
The invitation was only shared on the Independent Democrats website. https://indbrooklyn.org

Who an elected official invites to their inauguration says a lot. Justin Brannan’s first reception welcomed the community at Xaverian High School. At his re-election reception at Gargiulo’s Restaurant in Coney Island, the casino lobbyist was among the guests.
The Arab American Society shared photos at the event. former Councilman Vincent Gentile and Josephine from Community Board 10 were in attendance.
Rodney Bichotte’s shared photos of Chuck Shumer, Brad Lander, Jumaane Williams, NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin and Justin Brannan speaking at the podium during the ceremony. Andrew Gounardes and the Democrat District leaders from Sunset Park also attended. See here: https://shorturl.at/zZ2JX
It appears to be a gathering of Democrats, which left Coney Island residents out.
Santosuosso was already sworn in at City Hall at the end of December. She shared this photo:
Strangely, this week Kayla Santosuosso spoke out for Rafael Bohorquez., a 53-year-old NYC Council data analyst from Bethpage, Long Island, who was picked up by ICE.
NYC Council says Bohorquez cleared all background checks. Info:

ICE claims Bohorquez was involved in an assault. Info:
No article mentions which Council representative Bohorquez worked for. It must be a political friend of Santosuosso’s because people in Brooklyn been taken by ICE and Kayla Santosuosso hasn’t spoken out for them.
Just this week, Kayla Santosuosso didn’t say or do anything when Deacon Sebastian Ordonez from Bensonhurst was taken by ICE. The deacon does not have a criminal record, but he was one of six people targeted at an apartment building on Bay Ridge Avenue. Info: https://shorturl.at/qy6pW
Kayla Santosuosso didn’t even share this story or retweet the politician who stood up for the deacon and Brooklyn residents. Info:
