New York Mayor Eric Adams issued a “security warning” to millions of Big Apple residents Monday, saying new measures are being taken to ensure public safety as Donald Trump arrives for his arraignment in lower Manhattan.
“Control yourselves,” Adams warned at City Hall. “New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. We are the safest large city in America because we respect the rule of law in New York City. And although we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, says she’s coming to town. While you in town be on your best behavior. As always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. And if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable no matter who you are.”

“Our job is to facilitate and safeguard the rights of people to express themselves and those going about their daily activities,” the police commissioner added. “But I will remind everyone that violence and destruction are not part of legitimate, lawful expression, and it will never be tolerated in our city. But people we serve know this just as they know that the NYPD will be out there today, tomorrow, and every day to make sure that they are safe.”
