New York City Mayor Eric Adams is juggling multiple crime issues less than a month into office. Republican leaders in the state say the mayor has an opportunity to get the city back on track.
"On the whole, we should be happy to have a mayor who's finally saying enough is enough on illegal guns and murders on our streets," Republican Minority Leader of the New York City Council Joe Borelli told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
Adams campaigned on a tough on crime platform, and unveiled a plan Monday to combat gun crimes and violence in the city, including by bringing back the NYPD’s plainclothes anti-crime unit after it was dismantled under de Blasio’s administration amid the defund the police movement. Anti-violence teams of police will also be deployed to 30 precincts where 80% of violence has occurred and an expansion of the Gun Violence Suppression Division.
