A directive from the New York City mayor’s office has sparked controversy as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement.

A new memo from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is sparking controversy over New York City’s sanctuary city protections. The directive, sent to all city agencies—including schools, hospitals, and migrant shelters—states that employees can allow federal immigration officers onto city property if they “feel reasonably threatened.

The Adams administration is worried New York City workers may be caught in the crossfire of the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented immigrants, leading to a new directive on how city workers should deal with ICE agents.
