| As Trump Heads to New York, Adams Warns Protesters to Behave | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| As Donald J. Trump was taken by a motorcade from his Florida estate to a New York-bound plane to face his arraignment, Mayor Eric Adams warned Mr. Trump’s supporters to behave themselves at protests and rallies. | |
| The mayor singled out Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican who has used apocalyptic rhetoric in Mr. Trump’s defense and who plans a rally near the Lower Manhattan courthouse where the former president will be arraigned on Tuesday. | |
| “Although we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she stated she’s coming to town. When you’re in town, be on your best behavior,” Mr. Adams said on Monday in a midday news conference at City Hall. | |
| Ms. Greene has advertised a demonstration planned for Tuesday with Jack Posobiec, an internet conspiracy theorist, and Graham Allen, a right-wing commentator. | |
| While the mayor and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said that authorities have received no specific threats, the city has been readying itself for protests and plans to close streets and barricade demonstrators. All uniformed officers have been placed on alert. | While the mayor and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said that authorities have received no specific threats, the city has been readying itself for protests and plans to close streets and barricade demonstrators.
