New York Mayor Eric Adams says the city and police are ready to handle protesters during the arraignment of former President Trump, but warned troublemakers.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said police were prepared for protests Tuesday as former President Trump is set to be arraigned, but he urged protesters and “rabble-rousers” — including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — to “be on your best behavior.”
“New York is already always, always ready,” Adams said during a press conference Monday. “While there may be some rabble-rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, our message is clear and simple: control yourselves.” Adams and Sewell declined to offer specifics as to how many police officers would be deployed across the city, but Sewell said the department was ready to pivot with officers if their presence was needed.
“We take any threats or concerns for our elected officials very seriously so we have provided some assistance in that regard, and we are investigating any threats that may be made to the D.A. or any of his staff,” she said.
