NYC Mayor Adams' Top Aide's Sudden Resignation Amidst Federal Probe

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, a top advisor to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, unexpectedly resigned on Sunday.

In a statement, Lewis-Martin expressed gratitude to Mayor Adams for his support over the years, stating that her departure allows her to spend more time with her family. Mayor Adams, in his own statement, echoed the amicable tone, referring to Lewis-Martin as a friend, confidant, and sister.

This event occurred shortly after Mayor Adams met with incoming border czar Tom Homan, indicating a shift towards a stricter immigration stance following President-elect Trump's victory. Homan praised Adams' focus on public safety over politics.
