ICE raids unrest: ‘We will not allow violence,’ Mayor Adams warns while encouraging peaceful protests in NYC

Mayor Eric Adams urged on Monday those protesting ICE raids in New York City to do so peacefully, saying that the NYPD was at the ready to keep things orderly in the Big Apple.

During a late afternoon press conference on June 9, Hizzoner said that the city and NYPD would always ensure peaceful protests but have zero tolerance for any escalation into violent outbursts such as those seen during the weekend in Los Angeles. Though most of the protests have been peaceful in California, President Trump nonetheless ordered the National Guard into Los Angeles in a purported effort to keep the peace.
