The Democrat allowed the measure to go into law Sunday and unless a judge stops it\u2019s implementation, the city\u2019s non-U.S. citizens will now have the chance to vote in municipal elections.<\/p>\n<p>This includes Green Card holders and recipients of Deferred Action who have lived in the Big Apple for at least 30 days and those authorized to work in the U.S. He said despite initial concerns, he believes its critical residents of a local municipality have the ability to choose who governs them.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI believe that people who are here during COVID, our legal residents, they did not flee the city, they stayed here, they provided a service,\u201d Adams stated. \u201cMy concerns around the 30 days, I sat down with my colleagues, we came to a good understanding, and I think it\u2019s more important to see the bill move forward and allow it to happen.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While NYC joins more than a dozen other communities in the U.S. allowing non-citizens to vote, the Republican delegation of New York has not held back in sharing their opposition of the measure. They say it\u2019s a \u201cdangerous attack\u201d on election integrity and unconstitutional, previously stating they would pursue every legal action to see the law struck down.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper slams New York City Mayor Eric Adams for allowing non-citizens to vote in his city.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you say to all the people who went through the process \u2014 the difficult process \u2014 of becoming an American citizen?&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oW5ffrx54Q\">pic.twitter.com\/oW5ffrx54Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1480193554383261696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, this is not the first controversial decision the newly appointed mayor has made during his first week. Adams recently hired his younger brother, Bernard Adams, as deputy commissioner to the NYPD who he says is best suited for the job citing an increase in white supremacy and hate crimes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cMy brother has a community affairs background, the balance that I need,\u201d stated the mayor. \u201cHe understands law enforcement, he was a 20-year retired veteran from the police department and I need someone that I trust around me during these times for my security. And I trust my brother deeply.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Democrat affirmed he doesn\u2019t want to stray away from the public, adding the type of security he wants is unique. In the meantime, Adams said the city\u2019s conflict of interest board is undergoing the process to determine his hire.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/8-republicans-join-race-for-texas-governorship\/\">8 Republicans Join Race For Texas Governorship<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayor Eric Adamsis pictured Wednesday, July 7, 2021, in New York.
