This week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) spoke out against the anti-ICE riots happening in Los Angeles, adding that such protests in the Big Apple would “not be tolerated.”
Adams made the remarks in a press conference on Monday with New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
“The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of days is unacceptable and would not be tolerated if attempted in our city,” Adams stated.
“I want to assure all New Yorkers that we have the best police department in the world. Men and women who are prepared to handle any issues that may arise, especially when we are faced with deep division in our society,” Adams said.
Tisch then added that the city has “no tolerance” for the type of behavior that is being displayed in Los Angeles.
“Let me be crystal clear: We have no tolerance for violence, none. We have no tolerance for property damage. We have no tolerance for people blocking entrances to buildings or blocking driveways or blocking cars from moving. And any attacks against law enforcement will be met with a swift and decisive response from the NYPD,” Tisch said. “We are responsible for public safety and maintaining order in this city. And we will never abdicate that responsibility.”
Since the weekend, radical left-wing anti-ICE protesters have wreaked havoc in Los Angeles. So much so that President Donald Trump called in the National Guard to disperse the crowds.

The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders.
This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous…
