On April 25, NYC Council supporters rallied outside a Manhattan court as a lawsuit emerged against Mayor Adams' office, accused of colluding with ICE on Rikers Island. The administration's attorney dismissed council fears as speculation. Meanwhile, the judge upheld a restraining order preventing further collaboration with ICE until a hearing on May 29. The council's attorney highlighted what they termed a 'corrupt bargain', questioning the legality of the recent executive order permitting ICE's office reopening, while criticizing the administration's adherence to legal frameworks.
Catterson argued that the City Council's concerns about ICE's involvement in Rikers were based on mere speculation and political distrust, claiming the arguments lacked substantial evidence.
Kornstein asserted that the push for ICE on Rikers was a result of a 'corrupt bargain' and criticized the Adams administration for 'lawlessness' in their actions.
