Tensions in New York City are escalating as protests calling for Mayor Eric Adams’ resignation grew louder following the resignation of four deputy mayors on February 17. The February 19 protest, organized by The People’s Plan, centered around corruption and controversy surrounding Mayor Adams, including an alleged deal with Trump’s administration that could violate NYC’s sanctuary city policies. Governor Hochul has expressed concerns about Adams’ leadership but has yet to take definitive action, while pressure mounts for her to remove him from office amid the growing crisis.
