Conditional expectation of family of random variables parametrized by a random variable

$

Suppose we have a random variable $X_s$ that explicitly depends on some number $s$, seen as a parameter for instance. Now, let $Y$ be a random variable such that for every $s$, $X_s$ and $Y$ are independent.

Can we then claim that

$$\mathbb E[X_Y | Y=s] = \mathbb E[X_s]$$

?
