Mayor Eric Adams says city won’t be able to help ICE with deportation efforts because of ‘the law’

Mayor Adams said Saturday he won’t be able to assist the feds with President-elect Donald Trump’s massive deportation plan because of NYC’s status as a sanctuary city.
“The law is the law,” declared Adams, when asked by The Post whether the NYPD and the rest of his administration will cooperate with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in its multi-day ground operations that sources said will begin next week in Chicago and then expand to other cities serving as safe havens for illegal migrants like NYC, San Diego and Denver.
“I answered that over and over again. I’m not going to keep doing the same question over and over again about the cooperation of city agencies,” he added.
Adams refused to clarify what “law” he was referring to, but his office said he was talking about sanctuary city laws he inherited that prohibit the NYPD, Department of Corrections and Department of Probation from cooperating with ICE unless cases involve suspected terrorists or other serious public safety risks.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch echoed Adam’ remarks earlier this week when she told The Post the department “is always going to follow the law.”
“And right now, the law in New York City, basically, is that the Police Department will not assist in civil immigration enforcement,” she said.

Someone please tell Eric that harboring illegal people is a crime.

How cute. If Adams gets in the way or tries to block ICE’s efforts he’s going to jail.

Yup—NY officials can have their lawyers debate whether federal or state laws rule while they sit in prison.
They want to “keep families together”?
Fine—let them keep cockroach families together in their cell.

Note to Tom Harmon: Notify Trump when the mayors / governors/ citiy governments refuse to cooperate with federal authorities, and he should immediately cease and desist sending ANY federal funds to those localities. Support Federal Law or get your hands out of the federal coffers !!

Then Trump won’t be able to help NYC with anything either. This can work both ways.

Maybe Eric should read the Constitution...
Article VI, paragraph 2:
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

“Support Federal Law or get your hands out of the federal coffers !!”

Right. Can’t be doling out one cent of federal money to law breakers.

I am fully on board with this, and this specifically includes my own blue state.

This phoney crap-bag just wants a pardon.
He never wanted the illegls gone. He wanted the big fed.gov alien support bucks from Bidet to enrich himself and his friends.
Illegals are a major cottage industry.

The Feds should preclude the sanctuary cities and states from receiving any federal assistance from the FBI, Secret Service, etc. until they sign an agreement to cooperate with all federal law enforcement agencies. Want to use the FBI labs, sorry if you haven’t signed an agreement. Want help on that forgery, sorry if you haven’t signed an agreement. Want federal money, sorry if you haven’t signed an agreement.

The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC alone costs taxpayers $6.1 million per month. We have American citizens who are homeless, but we can spend tax dollars on people who are here illegally? To me, this is treason.
