Newsweek kind of fucking up the lede here but:
Under Mamdani’s directive, city agencies are required to safeguard personal information and limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
This latest executive order, Mamdani’s 13th since taking office, prohibits sharing information collected for city purposes with federal authorities except when required by law. Each agency has 14 days to appoint a privacy officer and take other steps to ensure compliance.
The order directs the New York Police Department, Department of Correction, Department of Probation, Administration for Children’s Services and Department of Social Services to audit their internal policies on interactions with federal immigration authorities and make any necessary changes public. It also bars ICE agents from entering city-controlled properties such as schools, hospitals, shelters and parking facilities without a judicial warrant.
State vs federal. Traditionally, state legislatures didn’t make such laws or rules because the constitution outlawed it. There was no need. But Republicans use the Constitution as toilet paper. So it’s fallen to functioning states and municipalities to try to do anything about it.
Ah that makes more sense. Well hey, they’re getting their state rights they wanted so much.
Noo not like that 😭
“But muh state’s rights!!”
State’s rights to do what? RIGHTS TO DO WHAT???
