New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) on Tuesday announced he wants to overhaul the city’s sanctuary laws amid a massive surge in asylum seekers and undocumented migrants, retreating from his promise on the campaign trail that New York would “remain a sanctuary city” under his administration.

    Meanwhile, suck it up buttercup. You brought this on yourself.
