NY Mayor Eric Adams says city will help ICE with deportation efforts

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.
