The judge presiding over Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign corruption case has dedicated much of his career to defending fair elections.

Ho declined to comment for this story. Here’s some background on the judge based on his past statements to Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court, in interviews and in writing.Ho was born in San Jose, California in 1977 to a Filipino immigrant family. At his Senate nomination hearing in 2021, Ho said his parents came to the U.S. “in search of freedom and a better life in this amazing country.

Ho argued the cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, telling the justices that adding a citizenship question would lead to a less accurate count of undocumented immigrants. “Mr. Ho, you’re a smart man, I can tell,” Sen. John Kennedy said. “But I think you’re an angry man, and I really have great concerns about voting for you.”
