Reopening the ICE unit at Rikers would allow Enforcement and Removal Operations NYC officers to take direct custody of foreign-born criminal offenders, avoiding re-apprehension in the community.
Sanctuary policies protect criminals, rather than the citizens. Reopening the ICE office could streamline the process to deport dangerous migrants instead of expending five times the resources to re-apprehend them.
City Councilman Robert Holden argues that the closure of the ICE office has contributed to a spike in migrant crime, associating it with New York’s sanctuary city status.
Mayor Eric Adams, who has previously supported sanctuary city policies, is now reconsidering his stance due to the increasing crime rates linked to these policies.
