A recent development in New York City has sparked discussions about potentially revising the city's longstanding sanctuary city law. A group of city council members, including six Republicans and three Democrats forming the Common Sense Caucus, are advocating for changes due to a rise in crime attributed to illegal immigrants and the strain on resources caused by migrants.
The caucus has reached out to Governor Kathy Hochul, urging her to consider issuing an executive order to temporarily waive the sanctuary city laws. They highlight recent incidents of violent crime involving migrant gangs in Central Park and Queens Parks, emphasizing the need for immediate action to address these threats effectively.
