Earlier this month, New York City Eric Adams’ administration admitted that criminal migrant invaders aren’t exempt from receiving taxpayer-subsidized shelters.
“We don’t say that [you] can’t come back into the shelter because you’ve gotten arrested,” stated Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom during Adams’ weekly press conference in City Hall.
The revelation came after a New York Post report that discovered migrants have been overwhelming the criminal-justice system, with one Manhattan cop estimated that “about 75%” of arrests in Midtown are migrants, mostly for cases involving robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items.
“I’m sure that there’s a lot of arrests that have come from a lot of different groups that come here, especially groups that might not be able to work,” Williams-Isom added.
On top of that, she revealed that the city government is not keeping tabs on the arrest of migrants. Due to the sanctuary status of NYC, the New York Police Department is banned from inquiring suspects about their immigration status
After being badgered a bit about the alarming number of migrant arrests, Adams’ Chief of Staff Camille Joseph Varlack stated that although suspects can return to city shelters, they would lose housing privileges if they broke a code of conduct.
However, the code is limited only to incidents taking place inside the shelters. Alleged criminal activity that occurs elsewhere apparently has no impact on migrant invaders’ eligibility to receive city housing, per a review of the code of conduct by The New York Post.
