On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's “The Situation Room,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) spoke about the new law authorizing state authorities to arrest and seek deportation of people who enter the United States without authorization. This was in response to the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit against the state of Texas over immigration law. He praised the lawsuit and said, “It's very important to send a very clear and loud message to the governor of Texas, who is very actively trying to destabilize our cities, and this action is extremely important. I believe it is appropriate for this purpose.'' and obtained approval.
Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “I want to hear your reaction to the new lawsuit against the state of Texas over its highly controversial new immigration law. What's your reaction?
“I'm very happy that D.C. took this action. The White House took this action. The governor of Texas is very actively trying to destabilize our city,” Adams said. It's very important to send a very clear and loud message to the United States, and I think this action is very appropriate. But it's also important that this is a national issue, and this I have to say, all of these cities need national government support, decompression strategies, and funding to allow people to work and pursue the American Dream. I applaud this important case you have brought, but we still need the national government to solve this national problem.”
