Mayor Adams Issues Emergency Order Blocking Local Law 42 on Solitary Confinement
Jul 28, 2024, 04:26 PM
Mayor Eric Adams has issued an emergency executive order to block parts of Local Law 42, which limits solitary confinement in New York City. The law, introduced in June 2022 and passed in December 2023, was set to take effect today. Critics, including Bob Holden, argue that the mayor's move is an abuse of power and sets a dangerous precedent by allowing the administration to evade compliance with city laws. The mayor's justification for the order is to allow more time to analyze and implement the law properly. However, this reasoning has been met with skepticism, as the law has been under consideration for over a year. The controversy has sparked a broader debate on the misuse of emergency powers and public safety in the city.
