Editorial illustration on the subject of a change of heart within America’s sanctuary cities as they deal with the consequences of their policies. As New York City deals with an influx of illegal immigrants, Mayor Eric Adams said he was asking a judge to revisit the city’s sanctuary city law.

Joining NYC Mayor Adams in his abrupt about-face, are former vigorous defenders of the sanctuary city idea: New York Governor Kathy Hochul, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, and one-termer, Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
