ALT NYTimes quote: “The uproar over the memo’s arrival at city shelters, first reported by Hell Gate, a digital news outlet, comes as Mr. Adams, a Democrat who has said he wants to weaken the city’s sanctuary provisions, is looking to establish a close working relationship with the president, especially on immigration. The Trump administration has also been considering in recent days whether to drop the federal corruption indictment that Mr. Adams faces as he seeks re-election.”

NEW:
A memo prepared by City Hall and distributed to migrant shelter operators gives workers a broad exception to allow ICE officers to enter shelters without a warrant, undercutting both the City's longstanding "sanctuary laws" and previous guidance.

NYU-Langone is cancelling appointments for gender-affirming care for young trans people, parents say. The cancellations come after Trump's order directing institutions that receive federal funding to end gender-affirming care for patients under 19. hellgatenyc.com/nyu-langone-…
