City Council sues Adams admin to block order allowing ICE back onto Rikers Island

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on April 15, 2025

The City Council sued Mayor Eric Adams’ administration on Tuesday in a bid to block its recent executive order allowing federal immigration agents to re-establish offices on Rikers Island.

The suit alleges that Adams directed First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro to sign the executive order last week as part of a “corrupt bargain” with President Trump’s administration that led to it dropping his federal corruption case. Adams announced his intention to sign the executive order in February, shortly after meeting with Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan, just days after Trump’s Justice Department moved to dismiss his charges.
