During a press briefing on March 11, 2025, NYC Mayor Eric Adams responded to the arrest of activist Mahmoud Khalil, expressing surprise at the media reaction while recalling his own experiences with legal challenges. Adams criticized the inconsistency in public calls for justice, especially given his struggles after alleging federal corruption charges against him. He also expressed concerns over masked rallies, linking anonymity to acts he termed 'cowardly.' Adams underscored his belief in free speech while advocating for transparency during protests.
I'm finding surprising the level of support you are displaying, but I didn't see that support for me.
If you're about justice, don't be inconsistent in your call for justice.
I did nothing wrong. And so there was never a time or moment that I felt as something was held over my head.
I think that you would see a lot less cowardly actions if people were not able to hide behind masks.
