flag NYC Mayor Mamdani signs order requiring ICE to get warrants to enter city facilities, citing faith and privacy.

flag New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, signed Executive Order 13 on February 6, 2026, reinforcing sanctuary protections by requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to obtain judicial warrants before entering city facilities like schools, hospitals, and shelters. flag The order, framed by Mamdani as a moral duty rooted in religious teachings—including the Islamic tradition of the Hijra—also mandates data privacy safeguards, multilingual rights outreach, and the creation of an emergency task force. flag The move, which restates existing policy, comes amid escalating tensions with the Trump administration, which has threatened to cut $2.2 billion in federal funding to sanctuary cities, citing national security concerns and criminal enforcement.
