The new mayor of Jersey City said he is limiting access to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents looking to conduct operations within the city.

Mayor James Solomon, a Democrat, signed an executive order on Friday that bars ICE agents from using city-owned properties as they operate in New Jersey’s second-largest city.

“What we are witnessing in America right now is an assault on families,” Solomon said at a press conference. “In Jersey City, we are going to choose a different path. We choose to protect everyone in the city, including immigrants.”

The executive order prohibits immigration enforcement officers from using Jersey City’s parking lots, vacant lots, parks and garages to process detainees, set up bases for operations or do other work.
