WASHINGTON (AP) " President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It's the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams appears to be embracing President-elect Donald Trump's plan for mass deportation of illegal migrants. Adams' city has felt the effects of the migrant crisis under President Joe Biden, especially after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing border crossers to the Big Apple in August 2022. When the first buses from Texas arrived at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the mayor personally welcomed the migrants. However, less than a year later, he was warning that the migrant crisis would "destroy New York City."
New York Governor Kathy Hochul now claims that she is willing to work with ICE in order to deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in the state. This comes as it has been revealed that there some 58,000 illegal immigrants living in New York City who have been charged or convicted of crimes. New York City is a "sanctuary city" in the "sanctuary state. Hochul told reporters that she will be the "first one to call up ICE" in order to deport illegal immigrant criminals in the state. Previously, New York had been unwilling to work with ICE. Trump's new border czar Tom Homan has said he would undertake mass deportations with or without cooperation from local elected leaders and officials.
Republican President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday he wanted former National Security official and loyalist Kash Patel to lead the FBI, signaling an intent to drive out the bureau's current director, Christopher Wray. Patel, who during Trump's first term advised both the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense, has previously called for stripping the FBI of its intelligence-gathering role and purging its ranks of any employee who refuses to support Trump's agenda.
