Mayor Eric Adams is planning to reopen the ICE office at Rikers Island, following discussions with Trump’s former border czar, Tom Homan. The mayor aims to issue an executive order that would allow ICE agents to assist the correctional intelligence bureau specifically in investigating violent criminals and gang activity. This initiative seeks to address escalating concerns about crime involving migrant criminals and represents a shift back to ICE's previous operational presence at the facility, which had been paused.
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.
