Four of New York Mayor Eric Adams’ deputies have resigned amid controversy over the Justice Department’s dismissal of corruption charges against him and his cooperation with the Trump administration on immigration issues. Governor Kathy Hochul has announced plans to discuss the situation with key leaders to ensure stability for New York City, while also addressing her constitutional power to remove a mayor. Adams had pledged to give Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to Rikers Island jail during a meeting with a White House official, which led to the dismissal of corruption charges against him. The resignations of the deputies followed news of the dismissal and allegations of a quid pro quo between Adams and the Trump administration. Several Justice Department officials have also resigned over the handling of Adams’ case. Adams has denied any wrongdoing and claimed the charges against him are politically motivated. The governor, focused on the well-being of New York City residents, will be closely monitoring the situation to ensure they are not affected by the crisis in City government.
