Curtis Sliwa, the Republican leader who is an outspoken critic of the mayor in terms of his handling of the immigration crisis, led a protest Thursday outside of a fundraising event for Mayor Eric Adams in hopes of disrupting it.
The protest comes on the heels of Sliwa announcing that he plans to run again to be mayor, amidst an ongoing battle against an influx of asylum seekers coming to the Big Apple. The election is scheduled for 2025.
