The group rallied near a building that houses an immigration court, which has become a flashpoint amid the arrests of migrants in courthouses.

Police said 86 anti-ICE protesters were charged on Tuesday, while city officials vowed not to let the Big Apple get out of control like LA.

The move marks a significant pivot for the Trump administration, which has vowed to deport millions of immigrants living in the country without legal status, regardless of whether they have criminal histories.

State lawmakers passed the ban in 2020 when President Trump in his first term escalated arrests of undocumented immigrants at state and local courts.

The Trump Administration sued New York over a law that restricts federal immigration authorities from making arrests at state courthouses, ratcheting up tensions over enforcement actions against undocumented immigrants that have sparked protests across the country.

New York Supreme Court Justice Mary Rosado granted a preliminary injunction siding with the New York City Council. The group alleges Adams’ office issued an order allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate at the prison as part of a quid pro quo agreement that ensured the Justice Department dropped its corruption charges against him.

A judge has blocked New York City's mayor from letting federal immigration authorities reopen an office at the city's main jail.

The order will prevent ICE and other federal agents from setting up shop at the jail complex until the NYC Council’s lawsuit against the mayor and his administration is resolved.
