Eric Adams’ time as a Mayor of New York prevailed two things: an attack on the life class and corruption from the bone costume on behalf of either Adam or his rich associates.
Last week, these gems transitions merged with a particularly horrific way when the Trump Administration Ministry of Justice strongly armed with their own prosecutors In refusing its federal corruption case against Adams. The federal prosecutor who was asked to give up Six other prosecutors.
The scandal caused a political crisis. On Monday four of his deputies mayors fellJoining the growing list of city leaders who lost confidence in his leadership. Then the governor of the New York Katiel announced What she is considering using her powers to remove Adams from office is an extraordinary step that has never done before.
The shocking step doj occurred after Adams spent the months brazenly begging For some legal delay from Trump. But it also happened after Adams took a step after a step towards the city’s Magi, especially his approach to immigration.
Seem advocate For a brutal and illegal mass deportation policy of the White House – despite a strong blessing in New York, which are designed to prevent cooperation with federal immigration officials.
Daniel Sasson, formerly acting US prosecutor in Southern New York, who resigned on the dismissal of corruption, was not afraid to use the usual language about the situation. “Instead of being rewarded, Adams’s propaganda must be summoned for what it is: the wrong proposal for immigration issues in exchange for dismissal,” – she wrote in a letter last week.
More than that doj couple About the charges against Adams were dismissed “without harm”, that is, they can be sent in the future. It gives the White House a functional veto on any policy that runs in the city that the Trump administration does not like.
Last week, the effects of this transaction were obvious. Last Monday Adams prevent His top officials did not criticize Trump and do not interfere with federal immigration. On Thursday, Adams met with Tom Khman, the “border king” of the Trump administration to discuss the New York government ways to cooperate with Trump. As one of Adam Press -Secretary Speak“The mayor of Adams also realized that he wanted to work with the new federal administration, not with them.” Adams then announced that agents on immigration and customs execution (ICE) will be allowed to work in the city complex of Ricars.
Then, on Friday, Adams appeared on Fox News with Homan, who made a deal but explicit. “If he won’t survive … I will be in his office, up the back, saying:” Where the hell we came, “said Homan when Adams smirked him. (Adams and Homan denied any obvious Quid Pro Quo.)
Current Issue
This is the cost of having a criminal mayor. But moreover, this is what happens when New York has a mayor who does not care about anyone but his wealthy fans.
Adams invariably sided with the enemies of the working class –Selling libraries To finance more cops, Standing with the landlords and lobby of real estate over tenants that make up most residents of the city, and allegedly Taking a bribe From the Turkish government.
Given your terrible legal situation and noted the similarity between themselves and Trump-They shared an external upheaval, their respect for allies and associates at the expense of driving; their tireless demagogy over law and order; Their infusion is that, despite the great power, they are actually those who are attacked outside; And ultimately, their evading criminal prosecution should not surprise that Adams now show a common cause in the Trump administration and its odious purpose.
But regardless of whether Adams was supplanted by his corrupt pact with Trump, there has already been huge damage. Outered immigrants, Trans -and people and other political enemies of the administration make a bill on its corruption. The ice has already begun Conducting raids Within five districts. The disappearance of our friends and neighbors send a the cooling effect through our communities. Some children who recently arrived in the city stopped attending school Fearing they will be aimed.

In the event of doubts, Adams’ fiasco shows this: the working class will always pick up the tab for the crimes of the ruling class. New York is a place where immigrants and marginalized people should find strength in society. By contracting an unprocessed deal with the Trump/Musk regime, Adams attack this tradition – and, in this, the fabric of our city.
It remains to know if Adams survive as a mayor. But no matter what the future for him, the working class New York has the opportunity to return power to the City Hall. This year’s elections in Mary are taking place, and in June the general elections in December and the universal elections in November.
The choice of the working class, united in solidarity, can send a message that we are not afraid of our neighbors and will not manage fascist staff. We deserve the mayor that can design a positive vision of this city. People who do this urban work deserve to be able to live here available. Tenants deserve peace, knowing what they will be able to rent every month. Our libraries and our subway deserve to be publicly fined. And, given the difficult four years, we deserve the mayor who will advocate us and fight the Trump administration with the full force of the city behind him, not join the criminal enterprise that sweeps across the country.
