Mayor Eric Adams complained on Tuesday that reporters are covering the arrest of Palestinian activist and green card holder Mahmoud Khalil far more closely than a recent Justice Department legal filing that, he says, proves his corruption case was politically motivated.
The mayor’s comments, made during his weekly “off-topic” news conference, came in response to questions about where he stands on the Trump administration’s arrest and threats of deportation of Khalil, who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Saturday.
