"More federal investigations and resignations have ensued since, spurring Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to demand Adams to resign on Wednesday night."
Adams initially welcomed the concept of New York being a sanctuary city - with the then campaigning mayor, just
days before he was elected, celebrating the then new arrivals as 'keeping our city running' during the pandemic
"New York City Mayor Eric Adams painted himself as a victim of persecution after being indicted on federal charges last night, saying he was singled out by the Biden administration for his stance on the migrant crisis.
"Adams, 64, became the first New York City mayor to be charged criminally while still in office on Wednesday. The indictment remains sealed.
"In a pre-recorded video statement released on Wednesday night, Adams chalked it all up to a political witch hunt. He believes he is being unfairly cast out for speaking out against the Biden administration's disastrous handling of the migrant crisis.
"While the indictment remains sealed, Adams has came under fire in the past for questionable donations to his 2021 campaign from associates of the Turkish government.
"The New York Times reports that Adams' dealings with Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea and Uzbekistan are also under the federal microscope.
"His indictment on Wednesday comes after a turbulent month of investigations and subsequent resignations from senior members of the NYC government." . . .
