Four top New York City officials are expected to resign in the coming days, after the outgoing U.S. attorney for Manhattan accused the mayor of trading cooperation with President Trump’s mass deportation agenda for a dismissal of his criminal indictment, according to three people with knowledge of their plans.
The four officials — Maria Torres-Springer, the first deputy mayor, and Meera Joshi, Anne Williams-Isom and Chauncey Parker, all also deputy mayors — oversee much of New York City government, and their departure is poised to blow a devastating hole in the already wounded administration of Mayor Eric Adams.
Mr. Adams, a Democrat, is resisting growing calls to resign. Gov. Kathy Hochul is also under increasing pressure to remove him from office.
The four officials who are expected to resign are all respected government veterans. Ms. Torres-Springer was elevated to the second most powerful job at City Hall in October in an effort to stabilize city government and restore confidence in his administration following the mayor’s federal indictment in September on five corruption counts.
The departure of Mr. Parker is particularly pointed because he is the deputy mayor for public safety who has been deeply involved in issues around the city’s role in the president’s deportation plans.
The intended resignations were first reported by WNBC.
“As we always say, if and when we have personnel announcements to make, we will make them,” said Kayla Mamelak-Altus, a spokeswoman for the mayor.
Reached by phone on Monday, Ms. Williams-Isom declined to comment. Ms. Joshi, Ms. Torres-Springer and Mr. Parker could not be reached for comment.

They are not top officials.
Better headline:
4 uniparty quislings fired.
They were forced to resign, they did not chose to.
Good! They probably shouldn’t have had those jobs to begin with.
The acrid scent of desperation wafts across the landscape. I presume they were all in on the grift and need to find a place that does not enjoy extradition.
Sounds like this is bearing good fruit…NYC needs a deep fumigation. This is a start.
Awesome.
Correct.
Don’t let the door hit you.
Try it. Go ahead.
They know the opportunity of a book deal when they see one.
Now if Hochel would get mad and resign too!
LOL nothing says wounded administration like polling numbers in the mid 60s to high 70s for approval rating.
NY Slimes, yellow journalism at it’s finest.
Hochul.
this is called a plea deal and they happen all the time, this is not some quid pro quo whatever BS the fake news is trying to peddle.
Brilliant!
May justice be served. May it be so!
I thought you were offended by New York Times articles being posted?
If Adams survives his own party he’s going to be re-elected in a landslide.
10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea is a good start. This is just a drop in the bucket.
I don’t remember that.
They are all complicit rats. They can be replaced. Call Lee Zeldin he has some names.
