A group of Black lawmakers urged New York Governor Kathy Hochul to refrain from removing New York City Mayor Eric Adams over accusations of corrupt dealings with the Trump administration, saying they "strongly oppose" such a decision.
Eight lawmakers, including five assemblymembers and three state senators, signed the letter, saying that "as Black legislators we have seen this over and over again." "Double standards and unfair process when it comes to our leaders. If a move against the mayor is made without a justifiable legal reason, our communities will never forget it," they added.
