Eric Adams Aligns With Trump Immigration Policies After DOJ Drops Charges

New York City Mayor Eric Adams appeared on 'Fox & Friends' with Trump's border czar Tom Homan, addressing the recent dismissal of federal corruption charges against him. Adams denied allegations of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration, stating that he has long supported increased immigration enforcement. The charge dismissal, ordered by the DOJ, led to the resignation of several top prosecutors, including Danielle Sassoon, who claimed pressure was applied to drop the case in exchange for Adams' cooperation with immigration policies. Adams announced plans to sign an executive order allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate in Rikers Island, a move that aligns with Trump's immigration agenda. This situation has ignited calls for Adams' resignation from some Democrats, including Governor Kathy Hochul, who expressed concerns over the implications of the DOJ's actions. The controversy highlights a significant intersection of local and federal politics, raising questions about accountability and political influence.
