It challenges policies that include barring city law enforcement from honouring civil immigration detainers by holding people in custody past their release date.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kayla Mamelak Altus, a spokesperson for Adams, said the mayor \u201csupports the essence\u201d of the city\u2019s policies but has urged the City Council \u201cto re-examine them to ensure we can effectively work with the federal government to make our city safer\u201d when it comes to dealing with \u201cviolent criminals.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Altus said that so far the City Council has refused to do so. The Council did not immediately return a request for comment. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New York Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Donna Lieberman said the city \u201chas no obligation to redirect its resources to take on federal immigration enforcement, let alone the cruel and lawless deportation campaign the Trump regime is waging.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York City\u2019s decades-old, bipartisan sanctuary laws have made our city safer, supported our economy, strengthened our communities, and made it easier for our people to access vital services,&#8221; Lieberman said.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The suit comes after Trump officials on Monday blamed the city\u2019s sanctuary policies for the shooting of a Customs and Border Protection officer in a Manhattan park over the weekend.
