A state judge in New York will continue to block Donald Trump’s administration from opening an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office inside Rikers Island jail, one of the largest and most notorious detention facilities in the country, plagued by decades of reports of widespread abuse and violence.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams gave ICE permission to operate inside the jail earlier this year, drawing lawsuits from city officials accusing Adams of crafting a “corrupt bargain” with the president to expand his anti-immigration agenda in exchange for dropping a criminal corruption case against the mayor.
