**New York City, NY** – Mayor Eric Adams, facing federal indictment on corruption charges, has accused the Biden administration of targeting him in retaliation for his criticism of their immigration policies. Adams, a former NYPD captain, claims the Justice Department’s investigation is politically motivated, citing his outspoken criticism of the influx of migrants into the city.
In a statement, Adams declared his innocence and asserted that the allegations stem from his efforts to prioritize New York City’s residents over party politics. He pointed to his decision to cut city services and sue bus companies transporting migrants to the city as examples of his commitment to addressing the challenges caused by the influx.
Adams’ allegations come after months of public pressure on the Biden administration to address the border crisis and the strain it has placed on sanctuary cities like New York. The mayor, who previously visited the southern border, called for a resolution from both Congress and the administration.
The White House has not yet responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment on the indictment or Adams’ allegations.
The indictment, secured by federal prosecutors in New York, stems from an investigation into corruption allegations against Adams. The investigation also included a search of the home of the city’s new police commissioner, just one week after he joined the administration.
Adams, in his statement, vowed to fight the “injustices” he claims to be facing. He has long been a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s immigration policies, arguing they have placed an undue burden on New York City.
