New York City Mayor Eric Adams' administration issued a guidance memo instructing city employees to allow federal immigration authorities, specifically ICE, to search city property or request information under certain conditions, including if employees feel threatened. Critics argue this policy undermines existing sanctuary laws meant to protect immigrant communities by permitting ICE access to locations like schools and shelters. City Hall maintains that the intent is to prioritize employee safety during federal immigration interactions without encouraging cooperation with ICE.
The Adams administration's new memo instructs city employees to allow ICE access under certain conditions, raising concerns about undermining sanctuary laws.
City Hall defends the guidance as a safety measure for employees, stating it does not instruct cooperation with ICE but rather safeguards their well-being.
