“Alligator Alcatraz” isn’t immigration policy—it’s psychological warfare. A grotesque abuse of human rights.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
