After an attack on NYPD officers by a group in Times Square, there is a push for NYC to resume cooperation with ICE, as current laws bar the NYPD from working with ICE. The Mayor acknowledges the legal limitations and defers to the City Council for a decision. Lawmakers, including Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis and Council members Bob Holden, are advocating for the repeal of laws passed under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, citing a surge in crime and incidents involving migrants arrested for murder, stabbings, robberies, and assault. ICE officials and some lawmakers blame NYC's sanctuary city policies for shielding migrants convicted of crimes from deportation.

We feed them, house them, give them money and in return they rob and assault New Yorkers. The @GovKathyHochul needs to work with @ICEgov or else this will turn into a string of murders. It’s just the beginning. https://t.co/h3SCkpLsZW

Today I stood alongside my colleagues in Council, Minority Leader Joe Borelli, Councilmen Bob Holden and David Carr, with Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis to call on the city of New York to reinstate the NYPD’s ability to work with ICE. This city has seen an uptick in crime… https://t.co/lPWzlassQY
#NYC won’t cooperate with federal @ICEgov detainers to deport criminals, even as hundreds of migrants wreak havoc and have been arrested for murder, stabbings, robberies, & assault. This ludicrous law needs to be repealed! https://t.co/dNdF6byGCv
Today, we called for the city to work with ICE. The attack on our officers in Times Square by migrants, coupled with a surge in crime, highlights a serious issue. Not collaborating with ICE only worsens the situation. We don’t need to import criminals. We need to deport them. https://t.co/Ihk3PLo4yD

.@NYCMayor repeatedly pressed on rolling back NYC laws that bar the NYPD from working with ICE after assault on cops. "I cannot use city resources based on the existing law, it is a question that should be presented to the council how do they want to move forward on this issue."
