That’s OK just STAY out of the way
well... then NY doesn’t get any federal funds.. because you are an ass
New York City should be the last place ICE raids. Until then, let these illegal alien invaders seek refuge in New York City. No sense in dispersing the illegal alien invaders out into American towns and counties.
I would guess that he is either being threatened by RATs or promised something by RATs.
His excuses are weak, very weak.
“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”
We’ll see, won’t we. There’s a new sheriff in town with a whole bunch of new deputies.

The US Government cannot commandeer state and local officials to enforce federal law.
BUT, those state and local officials cannot interfere with federal agents in the lawful conduct of their duties. Including, taking custody of those incarcerated in a state facility wanted on federal charges (provided the feds have a lawful court order).
The best thing the Trump administration can do is to deport illegal immigrants from everywhere EXCEPT New York City.
Withhold Federal funds from New York City and put Adams in jail.
Stephen Miller put all of the mayors of Sanctuary Cities on notice that they would be prosecuted if they interfered with Federal actions.
A law passed by the New York City council preempts previously existing federal law?
Oops, too late.

I would think rapists, assaulters, repeated thieves, and murderers were considered “serious public safety risks”.
But, in NYC, I guess it’s just another Tuesday.
One possibility is that he’s wanting the Feds to remove the people who would enforce the state and city laws through Federal supremacy. He doesn’t have the political capital to ignore his state laws.
For a while there, it seemed that he was beginning to take a reasonable stance. Guess his conversion was short lived.
His commitment to “the law” is cute, but he’ll FAFO very soon.
