🚨 Judge Blocks ICE Presence at Rikers Island Amid Corruption Allegations A New York judge has temporarily blocked the Adams administration’s plan to allow ICE agents to operate at Rikers Island, citing growing concerns over legal violations and alleged political deal-making involving the mayor and federal authorities. ⚖️ What’s Happening? Mayor Eric Adams had authorized ICE access to Rikers Island detention centers. The City Council sued, claiming the move violates sanctuary city policies and due process protections. The lawsuit also alleges the ICE deal was part of an informal quid pro quo with the Trump administration to soften or dismiss Adams’ ongoing federal bribery charges. 🕰️ What’s Next? A court hearing on the matter is scheduled for April 25, 2025. City and federal prosecutors have not commented on whether a formal investigation into Adams’ legal exposure is underway. 🔗 Full article via Associated Press: https://apnews.com/article/8795bc79ad29efb4a3811ab76af67214 🧠 JSA2026 Perspective: “This is exactly why we need clean government and total transparency. When ICE raids and Rikers corruption are used as bargaining chips, nobody wins — not our citizens, not our officers, and definitely not our Constitution.” — 📅 April 22, 2025 📞 Campaign HQ: (516) 882-6275 📧 contact@bettr.community 🌐 https://bettrsm.com #RikersIsland #EricAdams #ICE #SanctuaryCity #CorruptionAllegations #BETTRNews #TurnNYRed #JSA2026 #NewYorkPolitics #ConstitutionalRights
