NYC Mayor Mamdani bars ICE from using city lots for family separations

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sent a letter to DHS citing Bronx and Queens lots, asserting ICE has no right to use municipal property as a base for separating families. The letter relies on a February executive order that already prohibited such use by non-municipal forces, indicating a reaffirmation rather than a new policy. This escalates local-federal tension over immigration enforcement, though the practical impact is limited given the existing order.
