Mayor Adams wants migrants charged with crimes deported from NYC in major shift as he dares progressives to ‘cancel me’
Mayor Eric Adams is looking for ways to go over the City Council’s head to tweak the Big Apple’s restrictive migrant “sanctuary city” designation, he said during a TV interview Sunday.
“The City Council made it clear they don’t want to change that,” Adams said on CBS’s “The Point with Marcia Kramer.” “They stated they’re not willing to change the sanctuary city law. I think they’re wrong. I have my teams looking at my power as executive orders.
“Do I have the power to do so? I have to protect the people of this city,” he said. “That is my north star.”
The comments come just days after a city lawmaker took the mayor to task over the city’s sanctuary status, something Adams has backed until his recent waffling on the issue.
