New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams accused Mayor Eric Adams of lacking a plan to address the Trump administration's deportation efforts. Adams urged the mayor to join legal challenges against the president's executive order seeking to overturn birthright citizenship, calling it 'abhorrent and ahistorical.' She expressed disappointment that the city had not prepared for the situation, unlike other cities.
New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said Mayor Eric Adams had “no plan” to deal with the Trump administration’s deportation efforts and urged the mayor to join legal fights against the president’s executive order seeking to overturn birthright citizenship.
“The president’s executive order to overturn this citizenship clause enshrined in the 14th Amendment is not only unconstitutional, but also abhorrent and ahistorical,” the speaker said. “No president possesses the power to change constitutional amendments by executive order, and this city should join the legal challenge to this unconstitutional action.”
“Several other cities prepared for this administration and for the things that were preemptively going to happen,” the speaker said. “New York City’s administration had no plan, like so many other cities had, to prepare for the situation.”
