Gov. Hochul must use her emergency powers to temporarily waive New York City's "sanctuary city" laws due to rising terror threats from the current migrant crisis.
Sanctuary laws hinder cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, limiting local law enforcement's ability to ensure citizen safety against increased violent crime.
Recent violent incidents attributed to migrant gangs, along with alarming reports from the Department of Homeland Security about immigration vetting flaws, necessitate immediate action.
The sanctuary status aims to protect non-citizens who are victims of crime. However, Council members argue that current threats complicate this mission.
