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.

Hey when Mamdani’s done fixing NYC, think he’ll have some time to come visit some other places? I’d love to see his solutions in Las Vegas.
Asking for friends who live there. I’m sure there’s a lot of municipalities in dire need of a Mamdani or two.

Sorry no, only one socialist office-holder in the country is allowed at any one time.
I mean, a bunch of people on here would do it, but they don’t want to.
Dem Soc isn’t socialist.
I love this. But isn’t the second part basically like creating a law saying murder is now illegal? The illegal search and seizures were always illegal without a warrant.
State vs federal. Traditionally, state legislatures didn’t make such laws or rules because the constitution outlawed it. There was no need. But Republicans use the Constitution as toilet paper. So it’s fallen to functioning states and municipalities to try to do anything about it.
Ah that makes more sense. Well hey, they’re getting their state rights they wanted so much.
Noo not like that 😭
“But muh state’s rights!!”
State’s rights to do what? RIGHTS TO DO WHAT???
The Confederacy was never for states rights. They made it illegal for their fellow traitor states to outlaw slavery, and before they rebelled were pushing for the northern states to abide by their state laws over the norths’ own.
But isn’t the second part basically like creating a law saying murder is now illegal?
It’s a law saying these agencies need to audit their internal operations and document any murders they may have forgotten to report.
The illegal search and seizures were always illegal without a warrant.
Because of the slapdash way these agencies often function, they’ll do the crime first and then build the justification after the fact.
Raising bureaucratic hurdles for police operations means increasing the risk that their bullshit won’t fly.
the second part is about public property.
Hell yeah
It also bars ICE agents from entering city-controlled properties such as schools, hospitals, shelters and parking facilities without a judicial warrant.
Yeah good luck with that. Federal Supremacy is still a thing, just like it was when the Obama Administration was fighting Arizona’s state level immigration enforcement.
It’s well established that Federal Law Enforcement can enter nearly any space or building that is open to the public. They can potentially be barred from entering private spaces, such as offices, inside a building unless they have a judicial warrant but that’s about it. Basically if you or I can walk in there then Federal LE can too and no Executive Order is going to change that.
It’s also federal law that requires they have warrants, so there’s no conflict that would involve the supremacy clause.
You or I can’t just walk into a school or hospital whenever we want without valid reason.
But are ICE agents likely to understand even well established legal precedent? This is at the point of being guerrilla legality, it’s about using confusion to create delays for them wherever possible.
Hopefully this helps.
But there is a LONG history of progressive legislature to minimize harm that cops just actively refuse to enforce. And considering this would require them to stand up to people in tacticool gear with a track record of murder…
We really need to move to the point where if cops can’t do whqt the city government tells them then they’re fired or not being paid. If I knew I could just ignore whatever my boss tells me, never get fired or even seriously disciplined, and demand a raise every year, you bet your ass I’d be doing things however I want.
Cop staffing is already below minimum levels. No one wants the (very real) PTSD that any emergency worker gets, for that kinda cash.
I’d suggest we rehab them into proper cops but this is Lemmy.
Only because we have cops doing things cops shouldn’t be doing, and aren’t trained to do. We’re sending in hammers to handle delicate situations and shocked when they try to bash their way through them.
Cop staffing is already below minimum levels.
In a world where a literal police strike led to a lower rate of violent crime, this is not a claim that should be accepted without extraordinary evidence.
At the very least, a city whose “cop staffing” is below their minimum should have an obvious increase in crime relative to comparable jurisdictions.
Im with you but
In a world where a literal police strike led to a lower rate of violent crime, this is not a claim that should be accepted without extraordinary evidence.
Is a wild claim to make without any evidence.
EDIT: Found some evidence. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0211-5
