Why is Eric Adams' future as New York City mayor growing uncertain?

Eric Adams' mayoral future faces mounting uncertainty due to multiple crises. Four of his deputy mayors have resigned, while the Justice Department has moved to dismiss corruption charges against him after he agreed to cooperate with the Trump administration on immigration enforcement, raising troubling quid pro quo allegations between the Democratic mayor and Republican administration. The situation has become so serious that questions about potential removal are emerging. While New York State's charter includes a process where the governor can remove the mayor, this mechanism has never been used before, highlighting the unprecedented nature of the current political turmoil facing Adams' administration.
