New York City Mayor Eric Adams cancels Mexico border trip due to safety worries
New York City Mayor Eric Adams Postpones Border Trip
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has decided to cancel his weekend trip to the southern border, highlighting security concerns in Mexico. Adams, initially set to depart Saturday night for Brownsville and McCallen, Texas, border cities near Mexico, had to revise his plans.
“As Lent draws to a close, our team was excited to stand with faith and humanitarian leaders who have dedicated their lives to serving the most needy among us and we were eager to discuss our work in New York City and explore new ways to collaborate with leaders in cities across the country,”
Concerns Prompt Postponement
Adams’ spokeswoman, Amaris Cockfield, relayed that the U.S. State Department raised significant safety alerts regarding a planned Mexico stop, prompting the trip to be rescheduled. This development comes as New York City grapples with a substantial influx of immigrants.

- Adams planned to meet with U.S. immigration officials
- Criticized federal response to immigration
Having recently criticized the federal government’s handling of illegal immigration during his trip to El Paso in January, Adams has been a vocal advocate for addressing the challenges faced by cities distant from the border. The influx of over 180,000 migrants into New York City since spring 2022 has sparked urgency in tackling immigration issues.
