Today, New York State Supreme Court Judge Mary Rosado <\/em>granted a preliminary injunction<\/em><\/a> to further halt Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 administration from implementing Executive Order 50 that would facilitate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reopening an ICE center on Rikers Island. The decision comes after Judge Rosado previously issued an <\/em>interim Temporary Restraining Order<\/em><\/a> on April 21 prohibiting the execution and negotiation of any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) related to the executive order. Judge Rosado then <\/em>extended the TRO<\/em><\/a> on April 25. In response to the court\u2019s ruling, Speaker Adrienne Adams<\/strong> issued the following statement.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s court decision to grant a preliminary injunction against Mayor Adams\u2019 illegal executive order represents another victory to protect public safety in New York City and New Yorkers\u2019 Constitutional rights from Trump\u2019s extreme overreach. Over the past months, we\u2019ve witnessed the Trump administration repeatedly disregard the U.S. Constitution, disappearing residents within our country without due process and wrongfully arresting local government officials. New Yorkers are counting on our city to protect their civil rights, and yet, Mayor Adams has attempted to betray this obligation by handing power over our city to Trump\u2019s ICE because he is compromised. This attempted corrupt bargain to allow ICE to set up a center on Rikers would only make our city, and all New Yorkers, less safe. Our courts have recognized the dire threat it poses, and today\u2019s decision marks the third time the court has ruled against Mayor Adams\u2019 illegal executive order to conspire with Trump. The Council will continue to use our power and resources to protect New Yorkers from the Trump administration\u2019s harmful agenda.\u201d <\/p>\n
