Overview
During a meeting with Tom Homan, New York City Mayor Eric Adams proposed reopening the ICE office on Rikers Island and collaborating with the Trump administration on immigration enforcement. This decision follows concerns over over 500,000 missing migrant children and rising crime linked to illegal migrants. While Adams emphasizes the need to enhance public safety, local officials criticize his reversal on immigration policies, arguing it undermines sanctuary laws and may lead to harassment of vulnerable populations. Adams faces significant pushback from City Council members regarding his shifting stance on immigration enforcement.
