Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday offered few condolences to city Comptroller Brad Lander following his arrest Tuesday at the hands of federal immigration authorities, instead comparing the episode to his now-dismissed federal corruption case.
During a June 18 interview on the Reset Talk Show, Adams declined to join other Democrats in bashing ICE’s actions against Lander and immigrants, instead seeking to rebuff criticisms that he has mostly stood silent during a dramatic escalation in Trump’s mass deportation effort.
