"Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order on Friday aimed at strengthening the city's limits on cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, making his announcement the centerpiece of his administration's first annual interfaith breakfast. Speaking to clergy and faith leaders gathered at the New York Public Library on Feb. 6, Mamdani said the order to bolster the city's sanctuary laws would uphold our city's protection not just of our fellow immigrant New Yorkers, but of all New Yorkers from abusive immigration enforcement."
"ICE is more than a rogue agency; it is a manifestation of the abuse of power, the mayor said. It is also new. It was founded only in 2002. Four mayors ago, it did not exist. Its wrongs need not be treated as inevitable or inherited. In fact, we know that there is no reforming something so rotten and base."
"The order also requires stronger safeguards around residents' personal data so immigrants are not deterred from applying for services like child care or health care. Under the order, each city agency must appoint a privacy officer within two weeks, conduct training, and certify compliance with sanctuary protections that limit information sharing."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order to strengthen the city's limits on cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and to reaffirm sanctuary protections. The directive prohibits Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from entering city property without a judicial warrant, orders agencies to audit interactions with federal immigration authorities, and creates an interagency response committee for major enforcement actions. The order calls for stronger safeguards around residents' personal data to prevent deterrence from services like child care and health care. Each city agency must appoint a privacy officer within two weeks, conduct training, and certify compliance with information-sharing limits.
