Eric Adams Blasted For Comparing New York City to Haiti
Story by Nick Mordowanec • 15h •
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is getting grief online for comparing The Big Apple to the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, which has been inundated in recent weeks by deadly gang violence.
The perilous scene in Haiti, located about 831 miles from Florida at its shortest distance, erupted after armed gangs conducted massive jailbreaks from Haiti's two largest prisons, leading to the escape of more than 4,500 inmates. The gangs, who reportedly control about 80 percent of the capital city, have demanded the resignation of the Caribbean nation's acting prime minister, Ariel Henry, to which he has obliged pending the creation of a transitional presidential council.
Fears of massive migrant flows into the United States, labeled as a mass migration movement, have drawn the attention of U.S. military officials and lawmakers. On Wednesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis deployed more than 250 officers and soldiers from the Florida State Guard, Division of Emergency Management and law enforcement agencies to the state's southern coast.
