"The democratic process of lawmaking cannot justifiably be declared a state of emergency, and Mayor Adams' emergency orders are an unlawful and unprecedented abuse of power," Speaker Adrienne Adams said.
"The City Council overrode the Mayor's veto to ban solitary confinement in city jails because its use has been proven to cause physical, psychological, and emotional harm and makes our city and jails less safe," she continued.
"Mayor Adams' decision to exceed his legal authority, simply because he was overruled, undermines the foundation of our democracy, and it must be invalidated."
