Mamdani Signs Order Reinforcing NYC Sanctuary Rules, Requiring Warrants for ICE at City Sites

The move focuses on tighter oversight to standardize how city agencies handle federal immigration actions.

Overview

  • At an interfaith breakfast, the mayor signed an executive order restricting ICE entry to city property without a judicial warrant, covering schools, shelters and hospitals.
  • The directive orders agency policy reviews for compliance, creates a task force on ICE and immigration, and sets new privacy safeguards to limit federal access to personal data.
  • It requires a public safety audit for key agencies and establishes an interagency committee for crisis coordination related to immigration enforcement.
  • Immigrant-rights leaders praised the action, while some reporting cast it as largely restating existing protections, with the full text not immediately released.
  • In his remarks, Mamdani condemned ICE as a "rogue agency" and framed support for migrants through his faith, saying the city will stand with "the stranger."
