As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The City agencies’ protocols will be strengthened when interacting with federal authorities. The audit found that federal immigration authorities have intensified their targeting of city shelters. The NYPD received 3,672 requests for civil immigration detainers in 2025, a massive spike from just 99 requests the previous year. Federal agents used tactics such as asking to conduct “wellness checks” on children to inquire about specific clients. The report’s recommendations aim to close loopholes in the city’s sanctuary policies.
The familiar dance between City agencies and federal immigration authorities continues, with each side trying to outmaneuver the other.
