New York City is grappling with a significant surge in illegal immigration, prompting Mayor Eric Adams to announce on Thursday his intention to request a judicial review of the city’s sanctuary city law.
“The law of sanctuary city was in place long before I became mayor. I’m following the law. As a law enforcement person, you know, we follow the law,” Adams said.
“We are now in court now, today, asking the judge to revisit this law to deal with this humanitarian crisis because, even when they decided to put in place that law, no one thought they would be dealing with a humanitarian crisis of this proportion,” he added.
