Mayor Adams in the House: As Republicans go easy, Dems press him on quid pro quo during heated immigration hearing

A throng of congressional Republicans excoriated a panel of big-city Democratic mayors during a contentious Wednesday hearing, but they were a lot kinder to moderate Mayor Eric Adams.

The GOP members of the House Oversight Committee repeatedly asked the Democratic mayors, except Adams, questions about their policies against cooperating with federal immigration authorities. However, Hizzoner did face a barrage of tough questions from fellow Democrats over allegations that his attorney made a deal with President Trump’s Justice Department to toe the line on immigration enforcement in exchange for dropping his federal corruption case.
