... if they don't have anywhere else to go and are desperate?
Dig this.

Back in the day, when I was building a custom home with my previous wife, the lot had a decrepit house with ne'er do well renters. In 6 month period, we collected 1 month of rent. Evicting them was going to cost us an arm and a leg in legal fees, so instead, we informed them that we were going to bulldoze the place and they had to leave. They left without any fuss.
NYC has managed to get itself into a far worse mess. We only owned the house and had no responsibility for the rest of the city. NYC is the city. There's nowhere for the illegals to go, particularly if their benefits are expiring. Further, as has been noted before on this blog, the NYPD combat strength is down to about 60%. If even 10% of the illegals dig in their heels, how does the city plan on getting them to leave their current housing?
Now solve that problem from the point of view of an NYPD flatfoot. You're outnumbered 100-1, the illegals are desperate and many of them are criminal toughs. Your DA does not have your back. If you can't risk using your gun without going to jail, the encounters become melees at which point numbers matter a great deal.
Two things come to mind.
- You'd have to be crazy to remain an NYPD officer.
- Things in NYC are about to go sideways in a big way.
It's almost as if being a sanctuary city is a bad idea.

The reckoning cannot come soon enough.
Well, back in the 1800s during a previous big influx of immigrants, the solution to the police issue was to hire the immigrants to be police officers. This page says that in 1886, a full 33% of the New York police force had been born in Ireland:

The difference being that in the 1800 the immigration was legal.
