Sliwa: ‘I'll let voters decide if NYC should be a sanctuary city' if elected mayor
Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa will have voters decide whether the Big Apple should remain a sanctuary city if he's elected mayor. 'I'll put the issue where it belongs – in the hands of New Yorkers,' the Guardian Angels founder told The Post about the city's controversial designation that helps criminal migrants avoid deportation. Former Mayor de Blasio and his left-wing comrades on the City Council pushed through a series of policies in 2014 and 2018 that help criminal migrants avoid deportation by severely limiting the NYPD's and city Correction and Probation departments' ability to cooperate with the feds. Mayor Adams last week insisted he can't issue an executive order to roll back the law because he'd likely be overridden by state pols – even as the Trump administration amped up pressure with a new lawsuit targeting the pro-criminal migrant policies. 3 Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa is vowing have voters decide whether the Big Apple should remain a sanctuary city if he wins November's general election. Bruce Cotler/ZUMA / However, Adams has refused to direct two separate Charter Revision Commissions he appointed to put a referendum question on the ballot to determine whether the city should repeal or roll back the sanctuary policies or keep them as is. 'Eric Adams talks a big game . . . but twice he had the chance to let New Yorkers decide on sanctuary city laws through the ballot, and twice he refused. As mayor, I will convene a Charter Revision Commission and put real issues like sanctuary city laws and whether Rikers should be closed before the people.' 3 A migrant is detained by federal immigration officers last week at U.S. immigration court in Manhattan. REUTERS Sliwa is ranked either third or fourth in most recent mayoral polls, behind Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Adams and Cuomo, both Dems, are running as independents because Mamdani is the Democratic nominee. 3 Adams has refused to direct two separate Charter Revision Commissions he appointed to put a referendum question on the ballot to determine whether to repeal or roll back the sanctuary policies or keep them as is. Michael Nigro Adams' campaign didn't return messages.
