"Our values and our laws are not bargaining chips, Mamdani said in a post on X. We will always defend New Yorkers, even in the face of federal threats to withhold funding. Trump, speaking in Detroit earlier in the day, railed against sanctuary jurisdictions, claiming they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens and it breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come."
"The announcement applies to states and cities with sanctuary policies, including New York, and is part of the administration's broader effort to tie federal funding to cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The city is already facing a federal lawsuit filed by the Trump administration in July 2025, challenging its sanctuary laws. The case is ongoing. Under the city's sanctuary policies, the NYPD and city agencies are restricted on when they can honor ICE detainer requests,"
Jan. 13 marks the 13th day of Zohran Mamdani's term as mayor. Mamdani vowed to defend the city's sanctuary policies after President Donald Trump announced that, starting Feb. 1, the federal government will stop sending payments to states and cities with laws that limit local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The announcement targets jurisdictions with sanctuary policies and aims to tie federal funding to cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The city is facing a federal lawsuit filed in July 2025 challenging its sanctuary laws. Under city policy, the NYPD and city agencies are restricted on when they can honor ICE detainer requests. The rules do not prevent federal agents from making arrests on their own.
