A new bill is being introduced in New York City to repeal the sanctuary city laws enacted during former Mayor Bill de Blasio's tenure. The legislation, spearheaded by City Council members Bob Holden and Joe Borelli, with support from NYCCCommonSense, aims to facilitate cooperation between the NYPD and ICE in order to address the issue of criminal migrants. This move comes in the wake of a recent incident in East Elmhurst where two police officers were shot by an illegal immigrant residing in a migrant shelter. The bill has garnered support from some lawmakers who argue that the current policies protect violent criminals. Mayor Adams has not yet indicated support for the legislation.
