The City Council has formally requested an investigation by the city watchdog into potential breaches of New York City's sanctuary laws by the Police Department under Mayor Eric Adams. This request arises from concerns that police have been sharing information with federal authorities, which is in conflict with the city's regulations designed to protect immigrants. The inquiry is particularly focused on sharing intelligence that possibly aids in civil immigration enforcement, beyond intended criminal cooperation, particularly highlighted by specific cases such as that of Leqaa Kordia.
New Yorkers must trust that their own city government will not participate in their civil rights being violated, and these recent episodes raise serious doubts.
The City Council scrutinizes the mayor's immigration policies amid concerns over police sharing information that might violate sanctuary laws.
