# Indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams to Meet with Donald Trump

New York City's indicted mayor, **Eric Adams**, is scheduled to meet with **President-elect Donald Trump** at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.  This meeting comes as a surprise given Adams' previous criticisms of Trump and his current legal troubles.

<img src="https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/authoring/authoring-images/2025/01/17/USAT/77757748007-usatsi-20390962.jpg?width=660&amp;height=440&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp" alt="New York City Mayor Eric Adams">

Adams' spokesman stated that the meeting aims to discuss crucial issues affecting New Yorkers and foster a productive partnership between the city and the federal government.  This meeting follows Adams' September indictment on federal charges of bribery, fraud, and campaign finance violations. He has pleaded not guilty.

## A Shifting Political Landscape

This meeting marks a significant shift in Adams' political stance.  Once critical of Trump, his relationship with the Biden administration has soured, particularly due to disagreements over the migrant crisis.  He was even removed from Biden's reelection campaign advisory council.

<img src="https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/authoring/authoring-images/2024/11/20/USAT/76459194007-1900632389-adams-tisch.jpg?width=660&amp;height=517&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp" alt="New York City Mayor Eric Adams">

Adams has suggested his indictment is politically motivated.  Trump, facing his own legal battles, has expressed sympathy towards Adams and even suggested he might consider a pardon.

##  The Meeting's Significance

The upcoming meeting between Adams and Trump is highly unusual and raises numerous questions about the future of New York City's relationship with the federal government and the implications of Adams' legal situation.  The mayor's evolving political trajectory and his willingness to engage with Trump despite past disagreements are sure to fuel public debate and speculation.


Adams has lately been friendy towards President-elect Donald Trump and said he would welcome a pardon.

# NYC Mayor Adams Faces Backlash Over Migrant Policies

<img src="https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/15806511_011625-wabc-yu-immigration-rally-12pm.jpg" alt="Advocates call for more protections for migrant families during City Hall rally">

Lawmakers and advocates recently rallied in NYC, demanding **stronger protections for migrants** and adherence to the city's sanctuary laws.  This comes as President-elect Trump prepares to take office, and Mayor Adams hints at potential collaboration with the new administration on deportations.

Concerns escalated after Adams met with the incoming "border czar," Thomas Homan, and made comments about removing undocumented immigrants who've committed violent crimes.  **Councilwoman Alexa Avilés** strongly criticized this, stating, "We do not, should not, take part in Trump's extremist, xenophobic and racist agenda."  She emphasized that city resources should prioritize New Yorkers and not support Trump's agenda.

The Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) Commissioner Manuel Castro testified before the City Council, highlighting efforts to train staff on NYC's sanctuary laws and ensuring city agencies avoid assisting immigration enforcement.

Two resolutions were discussed, aiming to bolster existing laws: one seeks to prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE, and another pushes for guaranteed legal representation for immigrants in removal proceedings.

Adams maintains that he and Homan share the goal of removing violent criminals from the streets, but this assurance has not eased concerns.

# Buffalo's Booming Real Estate Market: Zillow's 2025 Prediction

<img src="https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2019/09/NYC_aerial-1-1.png?fit=2060%2C847&quality=85&strip=all&w=400&h=44&crop=1" alt="NYC Aerial View">

For the second year running, Zillow forecasts **Buffalo, New York**, as the **most competitive housing market** in the US for 2025. This surge is attributed to a high ratio of new jobs to newly permitted homes.  Sellers in Buffalo enjoyed a significant negotiation advantage in 2024.

## Key Factors Driving Buffalo's Housing Market:

*   **High Job Growth:** A significant number of new jobs compared to new housing construction fuels demand.
*   **Seller's Market:** Sellers maintained strong negotiating power in 2024.
*   **Relatively Affordable:** While not inexpensive, Buffalo offers lower average home values and rents compared to many other US cities, attracting buyers.

## Buffalo Housing Market Statistics (2024):

*   **Average Home Value:** $260,537

While affordability has improved slightly, it remains a key consideration.  The demand in Buffalo, along with other Midwest cities like Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Kansas City, has propelled them to the top of the rankings.

# Giuliani Settles Defamation Lawsuit, Keeping His Properties

Former New York City Mayor **Rudy Giuliani** has reached a settlement with two Georgia election workers, **Ruby Freeman** and **Shaye Moss**, resolving a dispute over the ownership of his Florida condo and World Series rings.  This settlement avoids a bench trial that was scheduled to determine whether Giuliani would have to forfeit these assets as part of a **$148 million defamation judgment** against him.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Giuliani's attorney, Joseph Cammarata, confirmed that Giuliani will retain his New York co-op, Florida condominium, and all his personal belongings.  Giuliani himself issued a statement on social media, emphasizing that the resolution doesn't involve admitting liability and expressing relief at keeping his properties.  Freeman and Moss also released a statement, stating that the agreement allows Giuliani to keep his property in exchange for compensation and a promise to refrain from future defamation.

## Recent Legal Troubles

This settlement comes after Giuliani was recently held in contempt of court for failing to disclose asset information.  He was also found in contempt in a Washington D.C. court for continuing to slander the election workers.

**Giuliani's son, Andrew Giuliani**, expressed pride in his father's resolution outside the courthouse.

## Key Figures Involved

* **Rudy Giuliani:** Former New York City Mayor, facing a $148 million defamation judgment.
* **Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss:** Georgia election workers defamed by Giuliani.
* **Joseph Cammarata:** Giuliani's attorney.

The case highlights the ongoing legal battles and controversies surrounding the former mayor.
