Adams Rikers Island ICE NYC Council.

A judge has blocked New York City’s mayor from letting federal immigration authorities reopen an office at the city’s main jail. New York Judge Mary Rosado’s decision Friday is a setback for Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who issued an executive order permitting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies to maintain office space at the Rikers Island jail complex. City lawmakers filed a lawsuit in April accusing Adams of entering into a “corrupt quid pro quo bargain” with the Trump administration in exchange for the U.S. Justice Department dropping criminal charges against him. Adams has repeatedly denied making a deal with the administration over the criminal case.
