Eric Adams Cuts New York’s Sanctuary-City Losses

New York City mayor Eric Adams announced the end of an era this week: Gotham will put its experiment as a “sanctuary city” to an end.

“We have no more room in the city,” Adams declared at a press conference on Wednesday. In what the New York Times described as a “somewhat unexpected departure,” the Adams administration announced that the city would no longer welcome illegal migrants as it previously had. Moving forward, the city will warn non-citizen immigrants that there is “no guarantee” they will be able to access shelter or other city services if they try to come to New York.
