Mayor Eric Adams addressed the recent immigration protests in New York City and the national tensions surrounding ICE raids, calling for peaceful demonstrations. The NYPD is prepared to ensure order amidst concerns of escalated violence, particularly in light of recent unrest in Los Angeles. Adams stated that while NYC welcomes peaceful protests, any form of violence or lawlessness will not be tolerated. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch reinforced this message, highlighting the department's commitment to protect public safety without engaging in civil immigration enforcement.
"In setting the tone for the city's response to immigration protests, Adams emphasized, 'NYC will always be a place to peacefully protest, but we will not allow violence and lawlessness.'"},{
