New York City Tightens Sanctuary Rules, Bars ICE From City Sites Without Warrants

Homeland Security calls the move a public-safety risk, urging transfer of thousands with active detainers.

Overview

  • Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Executive Order No. 13 restricts city agencies from sharing information with federal immigration authorities except when required by law.
  • Each agency has 14 days to appoint a privacy officer and implement compliance measures to safeguard city-collected data.
  • The NYPD, Department of Correction, Department of Probation, ACS and DSS must audit policies for interactions with federal immigration authorities and publish any changes.
  • The order blocks ICE from entering city-controlled properties such as schools, hospitals, shelters and parking facilities without a judicial warrant, and requires staff training on interactions with federal agents.
  • The city launched a multilingual Know Your Rights campaign distributing more than 30,000 flyers, as DHS condemns the policy and urges the city to turn over 7,113 people with active detainers.
