City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams accuses Mayor Eric Adams' administration of failing to plan for President Trump's incoming policies, which include ending birthright citizenship, closing the southern border, and dismantling diversity programs. While the mayor's press secretary insists on scenario planning, Adams expresses concern and hopes the mayor's relationship with Trump will ultimately benefit New Yorkers.
City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams on Thursday charged that Mayor Eric Adams’ administration had “no plan” to oppose newly minted President Donald Trump’s far-right agenda.of executive orders aimed at ending birthright citizenship, closing the US’s southern border with Mexico, and dismantling government diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
“At a time when anxiety is incredibly heightened and misinformation is being spread, it’s puzzling why anyone would give New Yorkers anything but the facts,” she said. “Just last week, City Hall gathered several high-raking members of our administration for a private meeting with the speaker and other councilmembers, where we discussed, in detail, the months of scenario planning we had prepared in response to new procedures at the federal level.
While New York is a sanctuary city, meaning city law enforcement is barred from collaborating with federal immigration authorities in many cases, the mayor has not clearly outlined how the city will protect undocumented migrants from deportation.
