Bondi to meet with NYPD as Trump targets blue cities
New York City Police Department officials will meet with Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday afternoon for what an NYPD spokesperson called a “standard meet and greet” in Manhattan.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and members of the NYPD executive team are slated to meet with Bondi after 4 p.m. in 1 Police Plaza, the department’s headquarters in southern Manhattan. Mayor Eric Adams will not be in attendance.
Monday’s meeting comes amid President Donald Trump’s floated threats of sending in federal law enforcement to New York and after an executive order signing Monday morning in which he took aim at cashless bail. The White House referenced several repeat offenders released on cashless bail in New York in a White House-published article on the executive order.
Both Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) have spoken out against Trump’s floated idea of sending National Guard troops to New York, with Adams telling CBS New York and Hochul telling Katie Couric that “we’ve got this.”
The NYPD spokesperson said the initial premise of the meeting is introductory and that it was set before this morning’s executive order announcement.

“NYPD is obviously the largest police department in the country. We should have a good working relationship with our partners in D.C., so it is very much a standard meet-and-greet,” the spokesperson said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
The Department of Justice did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.
