Elected Officials to Hudson River Park Trust: Cancel Your ICE Contract 'Immediately'

The park's trustees want to let the contract expire in June.

More than a dozen New York City elected officials are urging the Hudson River Park Trust to immediately break its contract with the Trump administration that allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to park their vehicles in the parking garage at Pier 40 on the west side of Manhattan.

After Hell Gate reported on the trust's five-year, $797,358 contract with the federal government on Wednesday, the trust told us that they would not renew the agreement when it was supposed to expire this coming June.
