Can the Blue Blobs Work with Trump?

You know, the big blue blob cities in America are fighting addiction, homelessness, and crime exacerbated by waves of arriving illegal immigrants. You would think the leaders of those cities would want to remove the illegal immigrants and reduce the burden on their taxpayers, but so far, that hasn’t been the case. Blue blob city mayors have fought hard to protect the illegal immigrants in their midst, even those who are criminals and gang members, from deportation by ICE.

Now, though, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was targeted by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice after he spoke out against Biden’s border failures, is working with Trump administration border czar Tom Homan. The two men met yesterday at the lower Manhattan headquarters of ICE. The NY Post reports:

Mayor Eric Adams said Friday he wants to loosen New York City’s sanctuary laws to allow the NYPD to cooperate with ICE even on civil enforcement — not just when it comes to violent criminal migrants.

In a joint appearance alongside President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan, Hizzoner told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” that he has been pushing the City Council to tweak the law so cops can help the feds crack down on illegal migrants.

“What I asked the City Council to do is change the bill that was already in place and modify it … if you are committing a crime, then we should be able to collaborate with ICE — even on civil enforcement if you have committed a crime,” Adams said.

“That part of the bill is wrong.”

Under the current sanctuary laws, the NYPD can only work with ICE when it comes to a criminal detainer, which is a ordered by a judge.

ICE can issue its own civil detainers if it suspects a migrant entered illegally.
