"ICE is more than a rogue agency—it is a manifestation of the abuse of power," New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said.

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.

    But now there’s an official directive clarifying the policy, and there’s also going to be a designated person for each agency tasked with oversight/compliance.

    In addition to auditing their policies and making changes public, this is huge. It’s more tangible action than any other local official has done so far.
