A New York judge has temporarily blocked federal immigration agents from accessing Rikers Island jail, despite Mayor Eric Adams' support for the plan. Border Czar Tom Homan and Attorney General Pam Bondi recently announced RICO charges against 27 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Critics of the Mayor suggest his cooperation with ICE is an attempt to seek favor with the Trump administration regarding his own criminal charges.
