Adams announces ICE return to Rikers Island after meeting with Trump's border czar

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Mayor Eric Adams announced plans to issue an executive order allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to operate on Rikers Island, following a meeting with border czar Tom Homan on Thursday at ICE headquarters in Manhattan.
The meeting began around 11:30 a.m. and lasted about an hour. Adams and Homan then departed separately through the federal building’s garage.
“We are now working on implementing an executive order that will reestablish the ability for ICE agents to operate on Rikers Island — as was the case for 20 years — but now, instead, ICE agents would specifically be focused on assisting the correctional intelligence bureau in their criminal investigations, in particular those focused on violent criminals and gangs,” Adams said in a statement.
Adams said that the new ICE presence would not be a broad crackdown on undocumented immigrants but rather a targeted effort to disrupt organized criminal networks operating in New York.
He also stated that city officials are considering embedding more NYPD detectives in federal task forces to improve intelligence-sharing and enforcement actions against violent gangs and criminal activity.

That didn't take very long, and neither seems to care about the transparency of their actions.
