New Yorkers took to the streets in full force today, marching from Washington Square Park to City Hall, demanding Governor Kathy Hochul take immediate action to remove Mayor Eric Adams from office.
The rally, organized by the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) and other advocacy groups, saw passionate demonstrators chanting through the streets:
📢 “When the people go marching in, we will dump the sellout mayor!” 📢 “Hey hey, ho ho, Eric Adams has got to go!” 📢 “NYC is not for sale! Trump and Adams belong in jail!”
A political protest in New York City features a large banner reading “Remove Adams Reject Trump,” along with multiple participants holding signs expressing anti-fascist and pro-immigrant sentiments. The demonstration takes place in front of a classical archway.
The message was loud and clear: New Yorkers will not stand by while their city is compromised by corruption and backdoor dealings.
Adams’ Corruption Case: The Battle Isn’t Over

The protest comes at a critical time in Mayor Adams’ legal battle. Accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions and favors from Turkish officials, Adams’ case was nearly dismissed by the Department of Justice. However, in a major development, U.S. District Judge Dale Ho refused to drop the case immediately, instead appointing independent attorney Paul Clement to evaluate whether it should proceed.
🚨 Key Dates to Watch: 📌 March 7 – Clement will submit his legal assessment 📌 March 14 – Potential court hearing to determine if the case will move forward
Judge Ho stressed that this case is of significant public importance, reinforcing that justice should not be rushed—especially with both the DOJ and Adams pushing for a dismissal.

Council Member Alexa Avilés Stands with Protesters
Protestors demonstrate in NYC, holding signs against Trump and in support of Eric Adams. Two people speak at a podium. The setting is a city street with buildings in the background, under bright sunlight.
City Council Member Alexa Avilés was among the speakers at today’s rally, standing in solidarity with her community. She voiced deep concerns over Adams’ leadership, accusing him of betraying immigrant New Yorkers for political gain.
🗣️ “Eric Adams has traded immigrant New Yorkers to save himself,” Avilés declared to the crowd, sparking applause and cheers of agreement.
Many believe Adams has cooperated too closely with federal immigration enforcement to protect his political standing—a move that directly contradicts New York’s longstanding sanctuary city policies.
Hochul’s Response: Is It Enough?
Two protest signs lie on the ground near a building. One sign says “Hochul, Dump Adams” in red, black, and blue. The other says “Proud Eric Adams Hater!” in black and red. Security barriers and a person are visible in the background.
Rather than removing Adams from office, Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed new restrictions on his authority. However, protesters argue that her response is too weak and that Adams must go now.
While Hochul maintains that democratic elections should decide his fate, the growing unrest in NYC suggests that many are unwilling to wait.

For now, one thing is certain: New Yorkers are not backing down.
