NYC Mayor Calls for Modifying Sanctuary City Status
Finally a voice of some level of reason from the Big Apple.
I used to love visiting New York - the shopping, the athletic events, the shows and even the crowds were breathtakingly entertaining.
That is no longer the case since the city has been flooded with illegal immigrants - I miss NYC at its finest

After a series of well-publicized crimes allegedly committed by migrants, Mayor Eric Adams appeared to support a modification of laws that make New York a sanctuary city.
Adams said on Tuesday that migrants who commit serious crimes should be deported and the city should be able to communicate with federal ICE agents.
"We should not be allowing people who are repeatedly committing crimes to remain here and we cannot collaborate with ICE in the process," the mayor said during a news conference.
It followed comments Monday evening when the mayor said the city needs to modify the sanctuary city law.
"If you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported," Adams said Monday.
Existing laws prohibit the city from cooperating with the federal immigration authorities if a foreign national has been charged with a crime but not convicted.
The New York City Council has exhibited no interest in modifying the laws, which were strengthened in 2014 during the de Blasio administration, but some Republicans welcomed the mayor's remarks.
"It's a welcome change," City Councilman Joe Borelli said.
A City Council spokesperson reiterated that the council has no plans to revisit the sanctuary city laws when contacted for comment by ABC News.
The Legal Aid Society expressed alarm.
"What Mayor Eric Adams seeks would result in local law enforcement being able to transfer New Yorkers merely suspected of a crime to ICE, upending local criminal court proceedings while perpetuating family separation and dividing communities," the group said in a statement.

My view
NYC has suffered in safety, quality of service to its citizens and businesses and people are leaving the city and the deficit being created by out of control "sanctuary spending" should not be fed by federal money.
What would you know about it, living in Ohio and all?
Same as you evidently.....living in Maryland and all.
Probably just what he has learned from reading seeds and links.
It's sad to see a city abandoning it's principals in the face of a little adversity.

The city is in crisis - financially, in a safety sense and if things do not improve soon tourism will surely suffer
It is hardly "a little adversity"
Tourism in NY and NY city will NOT SUFFER ONE BIT.
Then they can keep their silly sanctuary policy and it won't hurt the city or state at all, right?
Just tell the taxpayers they need to cough up a few more tax dollars to house feed, clothe, educate, and medicate aliens, all problems solved without making the state and city beg for a federal handout.
Would you have a basis for your declaration, or is it just your opinion?

Sanctuary Shithole status is what your city voted for, Sanctuary Shithole status is what you get. You want to rid the city of criminals, abandon your Sanctuary Shithole status and rescind the so called laws barring LEOs from working with ICD.
I agree
The New York City Council has exhibited no interest in modifying the laws, which were strengthened in 2014 during the de Blasio administration,
Since they will be getting out of jail due to no bail policies maybe they should be dropped of so they can thank the New York City Council properly.
Perhaps ICE should be waiting for them as they are released
I wonder how practical that would be. First you would have to have ICE folks at every police precinct and second you would have to know who they are. It seems the police have been instructed not to cooperate with ICE.
Actually ICE would only need to be at the arraignment courts (in each borough) to pick them up after they are released by the judge on their own recognizance
Pretty practical and easy considering the benefit to the city
I would think that would be very man-hour intensive as ICE doesn't know the immigration status of each and every person brought in to an arraignment court. If the police are not providing that information, how does ICE get it?
Only one problem with that, we have a piece of shit for president who cares more about illegals than the safety and security of the citizens he swore to protect.
So they wait outside on the sidewalk
I bet ICE can be very sneaky in figuring things out, especially about repeat offenders of which there are many among the illegals in NYC
Where is the citation for the repeat offenders, of which you claim there are many of?
Nope, The piece of shit is nothing if not thorough when protecting the feral cats.
NYPD brass say repeat offenders big factor in 44% crime rate spike (police1.com)
And now do you have a citation to share?
Or just hot air?
Ok so they could follow them to their place of residence
None of those repeat offenders listed are illegals.
Do you want to try again??
I don't think that's legal.

Sounds like your evidence is hot air.
There is no mention of illegal immigrants committing crime, much less them being repeat offenders.
So your statement was false.
I await your apology.
That doesn't sound practical or easy or legal.
I see you have no defense to your false statements.
Good thing I wasn't holding my breath.
It would have been fun if you had been holding your breath this whole time, but alas no one ever said life would be fun - I had begun to think you were ignoring my posts and tht made me happy
Some info for you ---
Migrant arrested 6 times for 14 crimes in first two months in NYC (msn.com)
A man who arrived in New York City two months ago from Venezuela has randomly attacked at least three strangers and two cops, and gotten arrested – and released – six times on 14 different charges, police and sources said.
NYC's DA Bragg endangers public safety with soft-on-migrants approach (nypost.com)
The DA’s office let five migrants walk after their arraignment in the wake of last week’s outrageous caught-on-video assault on two cops in Times Square.
So homeless thugs who entered the country illegally and with no community ties simply got released — and proceeded to leave the state.
NYC Mayor Adams Acknowledges Some Migrants Are Committing Crimes in the City (msn.com)
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has remarked that there has been a ” robbery pattern” linked to crimes committed by incoming migrants.
So you won't admit your first source was a lie? So you still don't have many, many, many illegals being repeat offenders.
What a waste of time. You've got nothing to back up your claims.
I think Democrats have too much control in NY to do something rational like modifying their sanctuary laws.
NY, this is what you voted for, enjoy.

I wrote a blog once, subject "You made your bed now lie in it" seems to apply here a bit.
Gee, why don't you post it then?
lol
I know you usually limit your activity to inane comments, but if you want to read the referenced blog all you have to do is look for it here on NT

Wow, i didn’t think adams had a lick of common sense. Looks like i was wrong. I don’t agree with deportation because they will be back in no time, thanks to biden. Plus, venezuela will not take their criminals back, so deporting vene’s is a no go. Hard core prison sentences, or, if applicable, the death penalty, but we are talking about ny so that’s not an option.
