On the heels of President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday remained mum on his administration’s plans to protect the Big Apple’s undocumented immigrant population from the new commander-in-chief’s threats of mass deportations.
During his weekly “off-topic” press conference on Jan. 21, the mayor said he has been “very clear” that he would uphold the city’s sanctuary laws, which bar local law enforcement entities from working with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in many cases. However, he refused to go into specifics on how he plans to do so.
