It's a complete mind-f%$#, but hizonner is demanding a federal investigation of the conditions at the ICE lockup in Manhattan.
Considering Adams' long history of defying court orders so that Rikers Island can remain a hell-hole, this was NOT on my bingo card:
Mayor Eric Adams yielded to mounting political pressure and called on the federal government Wednesday to immediately inspect conditions inside the shadowy ICE lock up on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan. He did so even as City Hall continues to contest the idea it has any authority over conditions in the Manhattan building.
In a letter first reported by the New York Times, Adams asked the U.S. General Services Administration, which owns 26 Federal Plaza, to conduct an immediate inspection of conditions there.
“As of mid-June, publicly available information indicates that individuals have been held at the facility for an average of 103 hours — more than four days,” the letter reads, citing reporting in THE CITY earlier this week.
The letter goes on to reference a video published on Tuesday by THE CITY that offered the first public glimpse inside the holding areas at Federal Plaza, which have seen a surge of detainees as ICE dramatically ramped up arrests in New York City in mid-May.
The brutality and inhumanity is not a consequence of ramped up enforcement. It is a deliberate policy promulgated by the naked sadism of these so-called law enforcement officers.
