Aaron Schlossberg, a lawyer who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Spanish speaking workers in a New York cafe, apologized for his comments Tuesday.

Schlossberg said via Twitter:

To the people I insulted, I apologize. Seeing myself online opened my eyes — the manner in which I expressed myself is unacceptable and is not the person I am. I see my words and actions hurt people, and for that I am deeply sorry. While people should be able to express themselves freely, they should do so calmly and respectfully. What the video did not convey is the real me. I am not racist. One of the reasons I moved to New York is precisely because of the remarkable diversity offered in this wonderful city. I love this country and this city, in part because of immigrants and the diversity of cultures immigrants bring to this country. Again, my sincerest apologies to anyone and everyone I hurt. Thank you.

Schlossberg shouted at Spanish speaking workers in a New York cafe last week, saying, “My guess is they’re not documented, so my next call is going to be to ICE.”
