What does the Trump administration want from the mayor of New York City?

The Trump administration wants Mayor Eric Adams to focus on illegal immigration issues. According to a Justice Department memo ordering prosecutors to drop corruption charges against Adams, the prosecution has 'unduly restricted the mayor's ability to devote full attention and resources to illegal immigration.' The directive suggests the administration is using the dismissal of serious charges, including bribery allegations, as leverage to influence how New York City handles immigration enforcement. This political maneuver prompted six prosecutors, including the acting U.S. attorney, to resign in protest over the apparent politicization of justice.
