In New York City, crime remains a primary concern for voters, particularly regarding incidents involving migrants. The current city council, aligned with progressive ideals, resists cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) due to existing laws established during Bill de Blasio's tenure. These laws enshrine the city as a sanctuary and limit engagement with federal immigration authorities. The article argues that the incoming mayor needs to reform these laws, distinguishing between non-violent immigrants and those charged with serious crimes, thereby facilitating cooperation with ICE for the latter group.
The next mayor should prioritize repealing laws that hinder ICE cooperation to address concerns about migrant-related crime in New York City.
Current laws prevent local agencies from cooperating with ICE, despite the surge in migrant crime, necessitating urgent reforms under the new mayor.
