Mayor Eric Adams said the city's lockups stand ready to jail Donald Trump if he continues to violate court orders. He expressed confidence in Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie on managing the situation at Rikers Island.
Justice Juan M. Merchan, overseeing Trump's trial, warned of potential jail time at Rikers if the former president defies orders. The court is considering jail as fines haven't deterred Trump's behavior.
The notion of Trump ending up in Rikers Island stirs logistical challenges for officials. The U.S. Secret Service would need to manage his security within the facility, a situation already discussed by various levels of government.
