“A New York state judge has prohibited New York City Mayor Eric Adams from allowing federal immigration agents to operate within the Rikers Island jail ahead of a hearing scheduled for later this week. Judge Mary Rosado wrote in her ruling Monday that she is issuing a temporary restraining order prohibiting city officials ‘from taking any steps towards negotiating, signing or implementing any Memoranda of Understanding with the federal government regarding federal law enforcement presence on Department of Correction property … until the conclusion of the hearing scheduled for April 25.’ The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed last week by New York City Council against Adams'[s] April 8 executive order permitting federal law enforcement and immigration personnel to maintain office space in Rikers Island’s prison complex to investigate [rival] gang activity.” (04/22/25)
