A state judge extended an order preventing ICE from returning to Rikers Island, a significant win for the City Council that sought to block the federal agency's presence. The extension of the temporary restraining order (TRO) by Judge Mary Rosado assures the continued protection of undocumented immigrants in New York City, amid fears of deportation. This ruling, perceived as a validation of the City's protective measures since a 2014 sanctuary law, showcases the council's commitment to safeguarding vulnerable populations until the hearing scheduled for May 29, 2025.
This represents an important step by the court to protect public safety in our city and keep all New Yorkers safe, the speaker said.
Judge Rosado said, 'Until we have that hearing, I'm going to continue the TRO,' highlighting her support for the City's protective stance.
