That's why I was extremely pleased when on February 6, 2026, the Mamdani administration issued Executive Order 13, protecting New Yorkers from abusive immigration enforcement.
The EO required that the Administration for Children's Services, Department of Correction,
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Department of Probation, Department of Social Services, and the New York City Police Department
to ensure compliance with all relevant laws, rules, procedures, guidelines, and reporting requirements related to non-local immigration enforcement.
The EO ordered the agencies to immediately conduct a review and audit all internal policies, guidelines, and protocols related to communication,
cooperation, and coordination with non-local law enforcement agencies charged with immigration enforcement and submit a report to the mayor within 90 days.
The EO also established an interagency response.
committee, and moving forward, I will refer to it as the IRC, to coordinate and manage policy response across agencies for any crisis in the city of New York.
