NYC Judge Halts Mayor Adams' Plan to Bring ICE Agents Into Rikers Island Jail

A New York judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking Mayor Eric Adams from allowing federal immigration agents (ICE) to operate within the Rikers Island jail complex. The decision comes after the New York City Council filed a lawsuit, alleging the mayor's plan was part of a 'corrupt quid pro quo' with the Trump administration. The court order prevents any further negotiations or actions to establish an ICE office at the jail. This move highlights ongoing tensions between city officials over immigration enforcement and the rights of detainees. The case will continue to be reviewed as legal proceedings move forward.

Yet another example of government overreach and politicians playing power games with people’s rights and taxpayer-funded institutions—just let the market and local communities handle their own affairs without all this federal interference.

Glad to see the judge stepping in to stop Adams from turning Rikers into an ICE outpost—NYC should be protecting immigrants, not helping Trump’s deportation machine.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
