DRAWING THE LINES AT VIOLENT CRIMES? Meh.
Just The News is reporting that NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced he will “work with President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan to deport illegal immigrants in his city who have committed violent crimes.”
“We’re not going to be a safe haven for those who commit repeated violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants and longstanding New Yorkers,” Adams told reporters at a press conference. “That was my conversation today with the border czar, to figure out how to go after those individuals who are repeatedly committing crimes in our city.”
I suppose half a loaf is better than none, but I’m betting NY District Attorney Alvin Bragg will define “violent crimes” downwards. Not to mention the truck-sized hole that “repeatedly” means. Stab a cop once? No problem. Stab a cop two or three times, maybe not so much.
