In an interview with 1010 WINS on Friday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) discussed changes to the city’s sanctuary city law, saying, “The goal is not to deport people who break the law.” Ta. Just take the apples out of the apple stand. It’s against the law and no one is calling for them to be deported. ”
“I want to be clear that our goal is not to deport people who break the law. They just take apples out of an apple stand. That’s against the law, and we don’t want anyone to deport them,” Adams said. I’m not asking for it. I’m talking about repeat violent offenders. Our job is to arrest them, the prosecutor’s job is to prosecute them. And the federal government. I believe that our job is to deport them after they serve their time here, because if we don’t let them serve their time, they will come back and commit crimes. It doesn’t matter if you’re an aspirant or a long-time New Yorker, you can’t violently victimize New Yorkers in this city. I support that, and I actually support immigrants and asylum seekers. We will consider what powers we can take to monitor dangerous individuals who are causing harm. They are trying to take the next step, but there are a small number of people who are violent and I don’t think they should have the right to stay in our city after the war. I am serving my duty.”
Adams added that his team is “looking at what powers we have to remove violent people from our streets.”
