New York City Mayor Eric Adams was accosted on a flight to Miami for a conference by a young woman who accused him of supporting the alleged “genocide in Palestine,” ignoring the homeless population, and neglecting the city’s citizens. The mayor remained silent while the woman’s accusations escalated, and a detective intervened to block her access to him.
Former President Donald Trump has called for reduced security around his hush money trial in Manhattan to encourage his supporters to gather in protest. Despite his request, there has been limited turnout of MAGA supporters at the trial. Trump has referenced ongoing student protests at Columbia University to support his argument for increased protest rights, but these comparisons have no bearing on the security measures surrounding his trial.
