New York City is poised to significantly expand its sanctuary city policies after the City Council voted to override a veto blocking legislation that would prohibit federal immigration agents from operating inside city correctional facilities.
Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the Safer Sanctuary Act into law in the coming days.
The new law makes all 19 city-run correctional facilities, including Rikers Island, off-limits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The bill was introduced last year by Democrat Astoria Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
