Mayor Adams says NYC will help with ICE as Trump cracks down on migrant criminals
New York City will “coordinate” with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement on deporting migrant criminals, Mayor Eric Adams said this week as major cities brace for President Trump’s promised crackdown.The city is still analyzing the new Trump administration’s rule lifting a years-old ban on federal immigration raids in “sensitive areas,” namely churches and schools, Adams said.
“We have been in constant communication with ICE. We met with them a little over a week ago, probably last week, to be exact, to hear what their policies may be,” he added. Asked on Tuesday whether cops would work with the US Department of Homeland Security and ICE on deportations of people who are in the country illegally, Adams told reporters “There’s no restriction for the NYPD to coordinate with the various task forces around criminality.”“Nothing has changed there. We’re going to continue to collaborate with all of our federal partners when it comes down to illegal behaviors,” he said during his weekly press briefing.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” a DHS spokesperson said.The Big Apple, for the moment, is currently working with the Trump administration to get rid of criminal immigrants while following local sanctuary laws restricting city agencies from helping ICE and the feds in civil deportation proceedings.“The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.
“Those who commit violent crimes in our city have violated their right to be in our city and in our country, and we’re going to continue to collaborate with ICE around criminality,” he said Tuesday.
