Sanctuary City Mayor Surprises Everyone – Suddenly Makes 1 Unexpected Change

Democrats seemed unconcerned about the border crisis. That is, until Gov. Abbott started sending migrants their way. Democrat mayors of blue cities have panicked about the few thousand illegal aliens on their doorsteps.

They have demanded billions from the federal government to accommodate these invaders. And they are slashing budgets–for services meant for Americans–to provide for border jumpers.

One mayor in particular previously bragged about his city’s sanctuary status. The city vowed never to report illegal aliens arrested for crimes to ICE–who would deport them. Now, the liberal mayor is flip-flopping–to the outrage of migrants.

From Fox News:
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is seeking to amend the city’s sanctuary laws to exclude illegal migrants who have committed violent crimes.

“I don’t believe people who are violent in our city and commit repeated crimes should have the privilege of being in our city…”

He added, “You don’t have the right to be in our city and tarnish the overwhelming number who are here following the rules.”

With his back against the wall and seemingly without options, New York Mayor Adams is looking to change the city’s sanctuary laws. He is now pushing to amend the rules so that violent criminals won’t be protected.

This comes as Adams repeatedly complained about the growing number of migrants flooding New York streets. He has slashed billions from the city’s budget to deal with these migrants–yet he has not called on the federal government to deport them, despite the fact they entered the U.S. illegally.

Residents are growing increasingly outraged over the mayor’s unwillingness to remove migrants from the city. Democrats appear to be ignoring Americans’ demands that illegal immigrants should be deported.

This change to the city’s sanctuary laws flies in the face of liberals’ stances for years. Under President Trump, Democrat cities and states rushed to pass sanctuary laws, to prevent the federal government from deporting aliens. These laws shield aliens who broke the law from being handed over to ICE, as required by federal law.

If Adams has his way, at least illegals arrested for violent crimes might be referred to ICE. However, it is unclear if the current administration will proceed with deporting these aliens. Biden has allowed 7.2 million aliens to enter the country illegally. He has not appeared to deport any of them. Even if the mayor tries to get ICE to remove these criminals, he might be out of luck.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mayor Adams is flipping on the city’s sanctuary laws, demanding violent criminals be deported.
  • This comes as Adams has refused to deport most of the migrants destroying the city.
  • Blue cities have become overwhelmed by Biden’s migrant crisis, as millions of illegals enter the country.
