Interview with Mayor Eric Adams on Indictment and Immigration Challenges in New York City

People are not sleeping on our streets. And We were able to move our city from encampments on the sidewalks, on the highways, in our train station. You don't see that anymore in this city. And because of that success, you now have those that are suing us. But we're still carrying out the job. (28:49–28:57)
