As you force your worthless governor to mayor-cide!
ICE cooperation triggers her Dem vindictive pride.
~ Apologies to 1776
If there's one thing holding true about the Democrats, particularly the progressive ones, they don't have a problem drawing blood in public if you are one of the flock and somehow step out of the mass of bodies for a moment.
It doesn't matter what the reason is - God forbid it's even legitimate...or legal.
When the rest are steadily plodding along en masse, the consequences for an oblique movement are swift and as brutal as they can conjure up.
In April two years ago, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City - not the sharpest tack, but certainly the sharpest dresser in the box - took a very public swipe at the Biden administration for what he saw as a lack of resources commensurate with the number of immigrants POTATUS and Co. expected NYC to absorb and succor.
Completely forgetting his part in inviting all those 'homeless, tempest-tost' to come on up to the Big Apple if they needed a place to hang, mind you.
By mid-April 2023, Adams was standing at a podium going at the Biden administration - and POTATUS - on full blast.
Mayor Adams Criticizes Biden in Rare Public Rebuke Over Migrant Crisis
The mayor blamed the White House for not doing enough to help New York City deal with the influx of migrants, or helping them find work.
As New York City was inundated with asylum seekers bused from the border last year, Mayor Eric Adams cast blame on the Republican governors of Texas, Arizona and Florida.
But when the cost to feed and house the migrants quickly escalated, Mr. Adams shifted his ire to the federal government, pressing for more emergency aid, and to allow asylum seekers to work legally.
On Wednesday, Mr. Adams delivered his harshest criticism yet, singling out President Biden, an ally who has placed Mr. Adams on a national advisory board for his re-election campaign.
“The president and the White House have failed New York City on this issue,” Mayor Adams said during a news conference at City Hall, mentioning Mr. Biden by name.
At the time, wise observers kind of cringed and were like, 'Yo, brother - you really want to be cracking on these people in public that hard?' and meant 'these people' in the worst kind of way, knowing their retaliatory bent.
That wasn't the last they heard of it either because Adams lit off again in July when the numbers topped almost 55 000 illegals in a city woefully unprepared to handle the influx with a chief executive who was never up to a job of that magnitude.
And Adams didn't do it at a press conference - he had another anti-administration screed posted on the official NYC mayor's website.
...I’m assuming they’re referencing this big of PR from the mayor’s office.
…“During this humanitarian crisis, New York City has stepped up in a way that no other locality in the country has in support of asylum seekers,” said Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs Manuel Castro. “From the start, we have called on the federal government to develop a fair decompression strategy to ensure asylum seekers find the support they need across the country, and not just rely on any one city. Unfortunately, this has not happened. As we move forward, we continue to call on the federal government to do more. We also call on the federal government to use all their powers to expedite work permits for asylum seekers, including establishing and redesignating Temporary Protection Status for those who arrived in the last year.”
The war of words went on for more than a year as the hordes poured over the border and found their way, be it Abbott Bus Tours, or Biden stealth flights in the middle of the night, into and overwhelming America's biggest cities. By the summer of 2024, NYC was 'full up' and had publicly laid the blame on the administration enough that the NYT felt they had to defend the White House.
As of August, more than 210,000 migrants had arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022, a two-year influx that has strained government resources and the city’s openness to immigration.
...In New York, many have sought shelter with the city, which has a legal obligation to provide it to anyone who asks. That rule has forced the city to find beds for migrants in more than 200 hotels, tent dormitories and office buildings. The influx has pushed the city’s homeless shelter population to a record high.
Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has called it a humanitarian crisis that will cost the city about $10 billion over three years. He declared a state of emergency and has repeatedly asked the federal government for more funds and for expedited work authorizations for migrants so they can become self-sufficient.
The mayor has said that President Biden “failed” the city by not doing more. But in June, Mr. Biden issued an executive order to essentially block asylum at the southern border and deter illegal crossings. The move sharply decreased border crossings this summer, as well as the number of people arriving in New York.
That was August. The following month the hammer fell on Adams.
Exactly one year ago, Mayor Eric Adams admitted (off-script) that migrants are "destroying NYC"

Including a certain presidential candidate at a time-honored October political dinner attended by everyone who is anyone in NYC and televised for the country to see.

...In a supportive but pointed tone, Trump referenced the legal troubles facing Adams, suggesting they were politically motivated.
“They went after you, Mayor,” Trump remarked. “I said nine and a half months ago, ‘He’s going to get indicted,’ and guess what happened?” Despite the challenges, Trump expressed confidence in Adams’ ability to overcome the situation, stating, “But you’re gonna win. I think you’re gonna win. I know you’re gonna win. So, good luck.”
The remarks underscored Trump’s ongoing focus on legal battles and political retribution, a theme consistent with his broader rhetoric against institutions he views as aligned against him and his allies.
There was nary a peep out of New York's scary clown governor, Kathy Hochul, throughout the entire charade.
In fact, there weren't really any burps at all in city administration with an indicted mayor at the helm. Business as usual. Humming right along until the Trump Justice Department threw a wrench in the works and moved to drop the charges against Adams.
Resignations flew like crazy as prosecutors in high dudgeon dropped acidly worded letters on desks on their way out the door, refusing to be the one to sign the paperwork to let the mayor off the hook, with one accusing the mayor of accepting a Trump quid pro quo: he goes free after agreeing to work with the Trump immigration gang.
...The prosecutors, led by Acting US Attorney Danielle Sassoon, refused and resigned en masse, accusing Trump-aligned officials and Adams’ defense attorneys of engaging in a “quid pro quo.”
Adams, under the reputed deal, would acquiesce to Trump’s hardline immigration plans to get his case dropped, Sassoon alleged in a scathing resignation letter.
For the record, Tom Homan says the idea of an Adams quid pro quo is ridiculous.
White House border czar Tom Homan on Sunday denied allegations of a quid pro quo between the Trump administration and New York Mayor Eric Adams, calling the notion that the Justice Department moved to dismiss criminal charges against Adams in exchange for the mayor’s cooperation on immigration “ridiculous.”
But Adams has agreed to work with Homan to start removing criminal aliens from his city.
And it is that -not indictment on criminal bribery charges - which has his staff resigning in protest...
Half of New York City’s deputy mayors dramatically resigned Monday in a major blow to Eric Adams’ administration – as a top rival threatened the mass exodus could lead to his ouster.
The resignations of Adams’ four senior aides — led by First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer –thrust City Hall even deeper into uncharted territory as the mayor faces mounting questions about whether he can govern the city after his controversial reprieve from his historic corruption case by President Trump’s Justice Department.
The four deputy mayors — Torres-Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, Deputy Mayor for Health Human Services Anne Williams-Isom and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker — resigned as dozens rallied in support of Adams unfolded in Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn.
The rally contrasted with the growing calls for Adams to resign or Gov. Kathy Hochul to remove him from office in light of Trump’s DOJ moving to scuttle his criminal case — a move that many critics argue makes the mayor a hostage to the president.

...and the scary clown running the state of New York seriously considering removing him from office if he doesn't leave voluntarily.
There's talk of NY Gov Hochul removing Mayor Adams. She didn't seek to remove him before he was indicted. Not after indictment, either. But prospect of Adams not resisting enforcement of federal immigration law is just too much. https://t.co/HGFhcNYPI9

As if suddenly it's Hochul's most solemn of duties.
All this in the light of day.
The Governor of New York is considering removing the Mayor of New York City from his elected position because he is helping enforce the immigration laws of the United States.
