A state judge has extended a temporary restraining order preventing federal immigration authorities from reopening offices on Rikers Island as the City Council challenges Executive Order 50. This order, signed by First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro, would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) back into city-run jails, violating New York's sanctuary laws. The City Council alleges this move is linked to a quid pro quo regarding dismissed charges against Mayor Adams. Judge Rosado is expected to make a decision soon following scrutiny of the arguments presented.
The City Council believes that Mayor Adams' decision to allow ICE access to Rikers is a corrupt bargain linked to a quid pro quo with the Trump administration.
Judge Mary Rosado has extended the restraining order while further considering a preliminary injunction against the executive order allowing ICE back on Rikers Island.
