Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, spoke with Eyewitness News about some of the most important problems that the city and its citizens are experiencing.
The mayor discussed the decision to discontinue a contentious program that gave prepaid debit cards to immigrant families lodging in motels financed by the city so they could purchase their own meals.

The mayor’s “job is to fight on behalf of New Yorkers,” Adams responded when asked if he believed Trump’s presidency will affect his federal lawsuit, adding that he should “defend this city.”
Other important issues that the mayor touched on were the immigration situation and Trump’s potential influence on it, as well as a recently revealed lawsuit against a vape firm that aims to prevent businesses and illegal cannabis stores from targeting children.
