New York City Mayor Eric Adams is calling for a change in the city’s sanctuary laws as the city continues to buckle under the pressure of the migrant crisis.
“We should not be allowing people who are repeatedly committing crimes to remain here and we cannot collaborate with ICE in the process,” Adams said during a press conference on Tuesday. The comments follow a similar statement Adams made on Monday: “If you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported.” New York City’s ‘sanctuary’ laws currently prohibit city officials from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The influx of illegal aliens into New York City has brought with it an influx of serious crime. In January, security cameras captured a group of migrants assaulting police officers in Times Square. This month, the NYPD said over 5,000 of its officers had been injured due to the migrant crisis. Last week, an illegal alien stabbed a 17-year-old boy in Times Square, and a group of migrants in a tent shelter on Randall’s Island attacked police officers in an incident that nearly became a riot.
In addition to skyrocketing crime, the migrant crisis has pushed city resources to the limits, even seeing students removed from their own schools to make room for illegal aliens. Earlier this month, Mayor Adams said the city was “full” and could not accept more migrants.
