Sanctuary city no more.
Recently, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city has printed thousands of flyers it plans to distribute at the U.S.-Mexico border. The flyer has a simple message to illegal border-crossers: Don’t come to New York.
The headline is in all caps: “UPDATES TO ASYLUM-SEEKERS FROM THE CITY OF NEW YORK.” The flyer goes on to say that more than 90,000 migrants have come to the city since April of last year. Now, the handout says, “There is no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services to new arrivals.” The flyer goes on to warn, “Housing in NYC is very expensive,” as is the cost of “food, transportation and other necessities.”
And then the message: “Please consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S.”

Statement from Mayor Bill de Blasio:
“New York City is proud to be a welcoming and inclusive city for immigrants.
(Trump’s restrictions were unacceptable…lol)
Statement from James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel:
“We welcome the announcement that the Department of Justice is rescinding the unconstitutional and counterproductive conditions on our public safety funding imposed under the Trump administration.
These restrictions were unacceptable and would have undermined the work of local law enforcement to keep our communities safe for all residents, regardless of immigration status.
