On Monday, Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that illegal immigrant crime in the city is getting so bad that officials need to look at changing the city’s sanctuary status so that local law enforcement can cooperate with federal immigration officials to deport violent criminals.
“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. “Those who are committing crimes, we need 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’ remarks come shortly after a group of illegal immigrants violently beat two New York City Police Department officers and were quickly released from custody due to the city’s Democrat sanctuary city policies. After they were released, they flipped off reporters while smiling.
Under President Biden, an illegal immigration crisis has begun with illegal immigration numbers setting a new record high every year since he entered office. So far, 2024 is also on track to set a new annual record as border officials have encountered 961,537 migrants attempting to illegally cross the southern border since the fiscal year began.
