The New York Post has more:
Mayor Eric Adams plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration next week after the feds secretly clawed back more than $80 million in migrant funding from New York City’s coffers, according to a letter obtained by The Post.
Counsel for the Adams administration issued a letter to city Comptroller Brad Lander Friday stating that the city’s Law Department is looking to take legal action by Feb. 21 to recoup the $80.5 million Federal Emergency Management Agency payments taken by the feds on Tuesday.
“The Law Department is currently drafting litigation papers with respect to this matter,” the letter, penned by corporation counsel Mureil Goode-Trufant, said.
“We intend to initiate legal action by February 21, 2025. As the Law Department is representing the City of New York in this matter, there is no need for an authorization for the Comptroller’s Office to engage external legal counsel.”
The letter was sent just hours after Lander demanded the Adams administration either file a lawsuit or grant him permission to hire his own attorneys to bring a case against Trump and Department of Government Efficiency honcho Elon Musk.
Eric Adams has been in the news a lot lately, especially regarding the DOJ ordering prosecutors to drop all charges in a corruption case against him.
Keep in mind that the reason the DOJ wants prosecutors to drop the case is so that Mayor Adams can focus his efforts on working with ICE to get rid of the illegal criminal aliens plaguing his city.
But, in light of this new lawsuit, perhaps the DOJ should reconsider…
Maybe Trump’s DOJ shouldn’t have dropped those charges 🤔

Either Mayor Adams wants to work with Tom Homan and ICE to solve the illegal immigration crisis.
Or, he’s in favor of rouge FEMA employees allocating funds to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels…
You can’t have it both ways.
Pick a side, Eric!
So which is it Adams, are you going to be for or against this administration…Choose carefully…Actions have consequences.
Donald Trump doesn’t forget traitors.— Nedra Waters (@NedraWater101) February 15, 2025
