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.
Yeah good luck with that. Federal Supremacy is still a thing, just like it was when the Obama Administration was fighting Arizona’s state level immigration enforcement.
It’s well established that Federal Law Enforcement can enter nearly any space or building that is open to the public. They can potentially be barred from entering private spaces, such as offices, inside a building unless they have a judicial warrant but that’s about it. Basically if you or I can walk in there then Federal LE can too and no Executive Order is going to change that.
