Mayor Eric Adams recently indicated a willingness to collaborate with ICE for the apprehension of dangerous criminal migrants but faced backlash, leading to a retraction of his statements regarding cooperation on civil enforcement. This confusion stems from the clash of various federal, state, and city laws regarding immigration. The need for local law enforcement to assist ICE is emphasized, particularly for apprehending serious criminals. Gov. Kathy Hochul is encouraged to reconsider state laws that protect undocumented migrants, which complicates federal immigration enforcement.
Adams' commitment to cooperate with ICE on civil warrants is welcome, but he needs to stop the mixed messages and ensure full collaboration, especially on serious criminals.
The ongoing conflict between local, state, and federal laws creates confusion about cooperation with immigration enforcement, and it’s crucial that New Yorkers support ICE in catching dangerous criminals.
