New York City was once one of the nation's largest immigration proponents, passing expansive sanctuary city laws and becoming home to over 500,000 undocumented immigrants. But as its mayor Eric Adams is seemingly cozying up with President-elect Donald Trump amid their legal woes, the once safe haven may now become a supporter of his plans to conduct mass deportations.
Earlier this week, Adams announced he wants migrants in the city who are charged with crimes to be deported from the US without waiting to see if they are convicted. He cited a concern for New Yorkers safety, including law-abiding migrants, as a reason for his support.
