NYC Council slaps Adams admin with lawsuit over ICE return to Rikers Island
NYPost ^ | 4/15/25 | Peter Senzamici,

City Council members sued Mayor Eric Adams over his alleged “corrupt bargain” to return ICE to Rikers Island – raging that it’d give President Trump free rein to deport innocent New Yorkers.

The incendiary, 29-page lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan court seeks to halt the long-awaited, controversial Executive Order 50 allowing the feds to reopen the dormant ICE office.

Trump officials have made clear they plan to use Rikers as homebase for sweeping deportation operations, despite the order only permitting criminal probes, the lawsuit argues.

“Executive Order 50 is a blank check,” the lawsuit states. “Its ostensible limitations are a farce written in erasable ink. Once ICE re-establishes a presence on Rikers Island, it will have no regard for the City’s laws.”

That’s why lefties are making the stink over the guy sent to El Salvador - they say Trump is sending “ innocent people” back.

At this point, this is what the “civilized” part of a civil war looks like. The “someone has got to do something” meme, meaning someone has to kill (fill in the blank) is the next less civilized step. The actual shooters and looters are the foot soldiers. Here’s the thing. The first and the last are well funded. Those are the people the administration needs to target. I’m sure they know that.

“ make sure illegal aliens criminals are not deported”

Not just NYC or NYS. This is the MO all over the nation at liberal cities, liberal states and in liberal courts

“raging that it’d give President Trump free rein to deport innocent New Yorkers.”

What kind of BS statement is this? What “innocent New Yorkers” are being deported? None! These people are liars and should be held to account.

Because Rikers Island is just full of innocent people.

Someone is going to have to do something. Either Bondi or SCOTUS one. We didn’t elect Trump just to have unelected activist federal judges govern the nation as Democrats.

Secure your damned elections.

I’m betting you didn’t vote for self-destruction.

THEY CANNOT REALIZE THAT THE “CITY LAWS” ARE OPPOSITE THE NATION’S LAWS.

THEY WANT TO RUN AN OPEN INVADER SANCTUARY-—IN NEW YORK CITY-—BUT THEY DEMAND THAT TAXPAYERS ALL OVER THE NATION HAVE TO PAY FOR IT-—ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BILLS FOR HOUSING INVADERS IN NYC DIDN’T COME JUST FROM NYC RESIDENTS
