Mayor Eric Adams warned Antifa agitators that he won’t allow them to “destroy our city” as violent anti-ICE protests spiraled out of control across the country.

Elsewhere, Hizzoner blamed the unrest on “outside agitators” — likening them to those who flooded Columbia University last year to “radicalize” students amid the wave of anti-Israel demonstrations.
