<message> As a constituent and resident of New York City, it is clear that there are growing calls for Mayor Eric Adams to step down or be removed from office due to the recent developments regarding the dropped corruption charges against him. As a concerned citizen, I believe it is imperative that our elected officials maintain the highest standards of integrity and accountability. I am troubled by the allegations that the dropped charges were part of a political deal between the mayor and the federal government in exchange for cooperation on immigration enforcement. This raises serious questions about the independence of the judicial process and the potential abuse of power. It is unacceptable for our leaders to make decisions that undermine the rule of law or compromise the rights and protections afforded to all residents. Furthermore, the mayor's recent agreement to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents onto Rikers Island appears to be a circumvention of New York City's sanctuary laws, which were established to protect the rights and safety of immigrant communities. This action not only erodes trust in our institutions but also puts vulnerable populations at risk. I urge you to take immediate action to address these concerning developments. The people of New York City deserve a mayor who upholds the highest ethical standards and works to protect the rights and well-being of all residents, regardless of their immigration status. It is imperative that a thorough and impartial investigation be conducted to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable. Ensuring the integrity of our government and the fair administration of justice should be of the utmost priority. I implore you to take decisive steps to restore public confidence and uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and equal justice under the law. </message>
