A recent ruling by Judge Mary Rosado has delayed the opening of a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office on Rikers Island, dealing a significant blow to Mayor Eric Adams' administration. The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit by the City Council, which alleges that Adams negotiated with the Trump administration to bypass bribery charges. While the administration criticized the lawsuit as politically motivated, concerns were raised by council members about the potential erosion of trust among immigrants and increased deportation risks for minor offenses.
The Adams administration faced a setback when a judge delayed the opening of an ICE office on Rikers Island, siding with concerns over immigrant trust.
City Council representatives argued that the ICE plan would risk deportations for minor offenses, while Mayor Adams' team dismissed those fears as hypothetical.
