#DemocracyNow: #NewYork Mayor Eric Adams Orders #RikersJail to Reopen ICE Office
Headline, Apr 09, 2025
"Here in New York, Mayor #EricAdams is reopening an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office inside the #RikersIsland jail complex. Adams first signaled the move after he met with Trump’s so-called border czar #TomHoman in February. The #NewYorkCivilLibertiesUnion slammed the Adams administration for 'selling out New Yorkers for Trump’s dangerous deportation regime.' The group said in a statement, '#ICE’s presence on Rikers serves no legitimate purpose, and opens the door to unlawful collusion between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials in violation of our city’s well-established sanctuary protections. … New Yorkers see this for what it is: Mayor Adams skirting the City Council, cozying up to Trump, and putting immigrant New Yorkers in harm’s way.'"

NYC Mayor #EricAdams announced Thurs that he would issue an #ExecutiveOrder to allow federal #immigration authorities into #RikersIsland jail, a shift in the city’s #sanctuary policies.
Adams said that he would move to allow #ICE into the jail to assist in criminal investigations, “in particular those focused on violent criminals & gangs.”
The move followed a meeting Thurs between Adams & #Trump’s border czar, #ThomasHoman, in Manhattan.

'Not only is New York the city that never sleeps, it’s also “ready” to “receive” Trump “just like Harvey Weinstein” says NYC’s Mayor Adams. Michael Popok explains just HOW CLOSE THE JUDGE IS TO SENDING TRUMP TO JAIL for misconduct DURING THE TRIAL, and the preparations being made between the secret service and NYC’s jail commissioner and staff for the WHEN not IF that happens.'
