New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that he will issue an executive order to allow federal immigration authorities into the Rikers Island jail complex. The move, a significant shift in the city's sanctuary policies, is another nod to the Trump administration and comes after its DOJ ordered the corruption charges against him be dropped.
Adams announced the news in a statement following a meeting with President Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan. He said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would assist the Correctional Intelligence Bureau with criminal investigations, "in particular those focused on violent criminals and gangs."
