Police sources in Midtown Manhattan report that three out of four people arrested for serious crimes are suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, highlighting challenges faced by law enforcement due to the city's sanctuary laws.
Former prosecutor Jim Quinn criticized NY city's sanctuary laws as ineffective, stating, 'New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,' bringing attention to concerns over public safety.
Mayor Eric Adams acknowledged the city's challenges with illegal immigration while defending sanctuary policies, stating, 'I have been extremely clear that the overwhelming number of migrants and asylum seekers... their goal is to pursue the American Dream.'
Adams emphasized the need for legal measures against violent offenders among migrants, asserting that 'those who commit violent acts after they serve their time... should be removed from our country,' reflecting an ongoing debate over immigration and law enforcement.
