A protest in Lower Manhattan on Feb. 9 highlighted strong opposition to Mayor Eric Adams' controversial directive allowing ICE agents to enter public schools and hospitals in New York City. Elected officials and groups like the New York Immigration Coalition rallied against the perceived betrayal of the city's sanctuary policies—a longstanding commitment to protect undocumented immigrants. Despite the mayor's claims of upholding these laws, critics argue that his actions undermine their essence, endangering vulnerable populations seeking refuge in these institutions.
Many believe that the recent directive from Mayor Adams allowing ICE access to schools and hospitals is a significant step back from New York City’s sanctuary policies.
Protesters condemned this shift in policy, arguing that it endangers vulnerable immigrant populations who seek safety in educational and healthcare facilities.
