Four top deputies in Eric Adams’ administration submitted their resignations Monday, in the latest sign of the New York City mayor’s cratering support among rank-and-file workers and the city’s elected officials. Maria Torres-Springer, first deputy mayor; Anne Williams-Isom, deputy mayor for health and human services; Meera Joshi, deputy mayor for operations; and Chauncey Parker, deputy mayor for public safety, all notified Adams on Monday that they would step down from their posts. “I am disappointed to see them go, but given the current challenges, I understand their decision and wish them nothing but success in the future,” Adams said in a statement announcing the resignations. It is not yet clear when the resignations will take effect. In the statement, Adams said the “deputy mayors will remain in their roles for the time being to ensure a seamless transition.” The resignations of the city’s highest-profile public servants mark a significant shift for the Adams administration, which has been struggling to reset after a Department of Justice memo last week ordered federal prosecutors in New York to dismiss corruption charges against the mayor. The DOJ’s order sparked a mass resignation of prosecutors in New York and Washington, including the Trump-installed acting US attorney in the Southern District of New York, who resigned rather than carry out the order to dismiss the corruption case against Adams, a Democrat. The prosecutors decried the order to drop the charges — which cited in part Adams’ role as mayor helping the Trump administration combat illegal immigration — as a bargain amounting to a “quid pro quo.”
