Summary

New York City sued the Trump administration to recover $80 million in FEMA funds initially allocated for immigrant services but later rescinded.

Mayor Eric Adams, facing federal corruption charges, claims the city is owed the money after spending $7 billion on migrant aid.

This legal action marks a shift in Adams’ relationship with Trump.

The DOJ recently moved to drop its case against Adams in exchange for his cooperation on immigration policies, prompting multiple prosecutor resignations.
