Addressing reporters for the first time after the Department of Justice moved to dismiss his case, Mayor Eric Adams insisted that his focus remains on the well-being of New Yorkers — not on aligning with President Donald Trump.

“Look at the record. Look at what I have done for this city,” Adams said. “How we have fought for the safety of everyone in our care. There’s nothing going to change with that.”

The first test of the mayor’s willingness to challenge the Trump administration is happening now. City Comptroller Brad Lander announced Wednesday morning, “Overnight Elon Musk and President Trump went into the city’s bank account and seized $80.5 million.”

The funds had previously been approved by Congress to support migrant services.

Lander, who is challenging Adams in the mayoral primary, added “Let’s be clear — this is highway robbery.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the move, stating on social media, “Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people.”

Pressed on whether the city can recover the funding, Adams said legal action is on the table.

“The Corporation Counsel is looking at litigation, and we’ve reached out to the White House,” he said. “We want to find out exactly what took place, and we’re going to do everything possible to get every dime for New York City.”

Meanwhile, part of Adams resuming his public schedule Wednesday included hosting a town hall meeting with seniors in Sunnyside, Queens.

“I am committed to this city,” Adams told the crowd.

However, questions remain about his political future. Sources told NY1 that Adams has been in contact with Republican Party leaders across the city — a move the White House is aware of.

When asked whether he would consider running for reelection as a Republican, Adams responded, “I’m collecting petitions as a Democrat.”
