Moya, a democratic, like Adams, often found himself at odds with other local progressive Democrats who represent the region, and many of them support illegal sellers, for example, and are not in line with his harsh position.
Adams, too, took the victory roll for the operation.
“The community spoke, and the administration has delivered it,” Adams said with the end of the 90 -day operation. He promised to have a heavy police will remain.
“Since its launch in October 2024, the Restore Roosevelt operation has continued to restore safety and bring it to New York residents. Our work here has not been accomplished – it will continue to see the presence of the police, as well as other various agencies in the corridor, and Adams said:” The quality of public safety and public safety issues. ”
