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.

“their departure is poised to blow a devastating hole in the already wounded administration of Mayor Eric Adams.”
Considering the source I’d say that’s more than likely total bullshit
Old: Resign to be welcomed to a cushy DEI czar job or a woke network one.
New: They aren’t any and the woke TV networks are on the edge of extinction or takeovers.
Plus many employers expect employees to work, not loaf or sit at home goofing off and smoking dope. A new world.
I was wrong. Sorry.
Wasn’t it Jack Nicholson’s Joker character who first said, “This town needs an enema!” ?
“...to protect and defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and democratic.....” Just sayin’.
So I’ve noticed an interesting thing about these mayor Adams stories they don’t mention what he is accused of. I’ve heard he got upgraded to first class but there must be more than that
Where did you get that he has 60-70% approval?
The story I saw last week was that he’s polling at around 10% among potential Democratic primary challengers.
Trump has been above 60 in all his major policy platforms, CNN was forced to actually show the numbers and they are crestfallen.
Whenever any of this propogandist report on how people feel about Trumps polices like deportation his numbers are 60% or better every time
Not Adams I was thinking Trump
AMEN!
Trumps over the target with so much flack heading his way.
I would bet they are the rats who were working with the Feds to bring down Adams. The American people support his assistance on deporting criminals and these radicals are going to make the Mayor a martyr, like they did to Trump.
is adams cooperating with ice?
But I’m still not tired of it…
Well, bye then...
It is amazing what depths they will go to protect illegal criminals, but piss on regular Americans...
Let them leave as the city will be better off without them. Then ask President Trump to recommend people to be interviewed to fill those jobs. It just might be a start to cleaning up NYC politics.
