During a City Hall briefing in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams was questioned about various incidents involving the NYPD. One issue raised was the NYPD Transit's labeling of a pickpocketing group as a "migrants pickpocketing crew," to which Adams confirmed the label and supported his police chief. Another topic discussed was the arrest of Bishop Whitehead by federal investigators, who claimed to have government influence in exchange for cash, with the mayor's top lawyer, Lisa Zornberg, being mentioned in the context. Additionally, controversy arose over NYPD officers using a taser on a Venezuelan migrant holding his one-year-old son at a shelter in Queens, following a domestic violence call. Mayor Adams defended the NYPD's actions in both the taser incident and the broader handling of situations involving migrants.
