The New York City Council has filed a lawsuit against Mayor Adams' administration seeking a temporary restraining order on Executive Order 50, which allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate on Rikers Island. The council argues that this order is unlawful and compromises the safety of city residents. Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala criticized the mayor for engaging with the Trump administration in a 'corrupt bargain.' The city claims the Council is misinformed, as Mayor Adams has delegated decision-making on this matter to First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro.
Mayor Adams' willingness to trade away our city's safety in exchange for personal protection isn't just outrageous-it's dangerous and unlawful, said Diana Ayala.
Court documents allege the executive order is unlawful and tainted by a conflict of interest created by a corrupt bargain the mayor entered into with the Trump administration.
