Mayor Adams softens stance on revisiting sanctuary city laws
Getting arrested in New York City doesn’t bar migrants from taxpayer-funded shelters, Mayor Eric Adams ’ administration admitted Tuesday.
“I’m sure that there’s a lot of arrests that have come from a lot of different groups that come here, especially groups that might not be able to work,” Williams-Isom added. Adams’ Chief of Staff Camille Joseph Varlack jumped in when pressed on the high number of migrant arrests reported by police sources, saying that while suspects can go back to city shelters, they’d lose housing if they violate a code of conduct.
