NYC Mayor Eric Adams has announced plans to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to operate within Rikers Island, following a meeting with former Trump border czar Tom Homan. This decision comes as the federal government increases scrutiny on sanctuary cities like New York. Mayor Adams expressed intentions to prepare an executive order to facilitate ICE presence at Rikers and focus on addressing violent crime and gang activity. The move has sparked tensions between the NYC administration and local advocates, with some raising objections against reopening immigration enforcement at the facility.
