Adams Heads to Mexico With Two Weeks Left in Office

The late-term trip follows a string of taxpayer-funded journeys that have drawn criticism.

Overview

  • Sources said he was expected to fly to Mexico City on Tuesday evening, his fourth international trip since October.
  • City Hall told City & State the Mexico visit is not an official trip, and Adams declined to share the purpose or how it is being paid for.
  • Earlier Tuesday he held a farewell event at City Hall, assembled a time capsule with aides, and buried it outside the east gate.
  • Recent travel to Albania, Israel, Uzbekistan and to U.S. cities such as New Orleans, Boston and Washington, D.C., included taxpayer support and meetings with officials.
  • Adams departs Dec. 31 as Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani prepares to be sworn in Jan. 1, and he is weighing private-sector roles after a federal indictment against him was dismissed by the Justice Department.
