NEW YORK (PIX11) — Four high-level officials in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration resigned Monday after expressing concerns about the mayor’s relationship with the Trump Administration, according to City Hall and sources familiar with the matter.

Deputy Mayors Maria Torres-Springer, Anne Williams-Isom, Meera Joshi, and Chauncey Parker have stepped down from their roles, a spokesperson from the mayor’s office confirmed.

The announcement came just days after Adams met with all of the deputy mayors at Gracie Mansion on Friday, sources told affiliate WPIX. The deputy mayors expressed concerns about Adams’ relationship with the Trump administration following the Department of Justice’s order for federal prosecutors to drop the corruption and bribery case against the mayor, according to sources.

Before she resigned last week, the former interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon, accused the Adams defense team of proposing the mayor’s help on the White House’s immigration agenda in exchange for dropping the case.

Adams has faced criticism and calls to resign from some politicians and his mayoral election rivals amid the claims of “quid pro quo.”

Torres-Springer, Williams-Isom, and Joshi released a joint statement on Monday, saying they decided to step down due to “the extraordinary events of the last few weeks.”

Serving as deputy mayors has been the greatest honor and privilege of our lives. We have worked each day with the singular mission of improving the lives of New Yorkers and strengthening the physical foundation of the city we love. Due to the extraordinary events of the last few weeks and to stay faithful to the oaths we swore to New Yorkers and our families, we have come to the difficult decision to step down from our roles.

While our time in this administration will come to a close, our support for the incredible public servants across the administration with whom we have stood shoulder to shoulder and our championing of this great city and all it stands for will never cease. We sincerely thank the mayor for giving us the opportunity to serve New Yorkers in these roles, stand ready to ensure a smooth transition of our duties, and wish Mayor Adams and all of our colleagues much strength and courage in the work ahead.

Parker also released a statement.

Serving as deputy mayor for public safety under Mayor Adams has been an honor of a lifetime. Together, we have made our streets safer, more just, and have improved quality of life for all New Yorkers. I am confident that the administration will continue on our mission to deliver for the people of this city.

Deputy Mayor Chauncey Parker

Adams said in a statement on Monday he was “disappointed to see them go.”

Maria Torres-Springer, Anne Williams-Isom, Meera Joshi, and Chauncey Parker are extraordinary public servants who have been vital to our work reshaping New York City. Together, we’ve broken housing records, created the most jobs in the city’s history, provided for hundreds of thousands of longtime New Yorkers and migrants, built unprecedented public spaces, and made our city safer at every level. New Yorkers owe them an enormous debt of gratitude for their service to our city.

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.

But let me be crystal clear: New York City will keep moving forward, just as it does every day. All deputy mayors will remain in their roles for the time being to ensure a seamless transition. The people of New York City remain, without question, our top priority.

I am solely beholden to the 8.3 million New Yorkers I represent, and I will always put this city first as I always have.
