Identify the ranking DHS used for '10 safest cities' and verify via municipal law-enforcement agreements or public records that seven of those ten have formal cooperation arrangements with ICE.

Source summary
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a press release on February 6, 2026, criticizing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for signing an executive order that DHS says will prevent local cooperation with ICE detainers. DHS says there are 7,113 people in New York custody with active ICE detainers and lists counts of alleged offenses (including homicides, assaults, robberies, and sexual offenses), and it urges the mayor to allow ICE to take custody of those individuals. DHS frames the action as reducing public safety and references a recent proposal from Governor Kathy Hochul to limit local cooperation with ICE.
