The temporary restraining order barring Mayor Eric Adams’ administration from allowing federal immigration authorities to re-establish offices on Rikers Island has been extended for another week while a state judge further considers a preliminary injunction in the case brought by the City Council to block the move.
On Tuesday, Judge Mary Rosado extended the current temporary restraining order (TRO) she issued in April and said she expects to issue a decision “in the next week or so, ” following a June 3 hearing which brought intense legal scrutiny to Executive Order (EO) 50.
