Mayor Eric Adams on Monday urged a gathering of high-ranking New York City officials to refrain from publicly criticizing the Trump administration over concerns that such criticism could endanger federal funding for the city’s priorities.

The mayor convened the morning meeting with his deputy mayors, agency heads and legal counsels to allow them to air their concerns about how the city has responded to President Trump’s policies, including on immigration, according to three officials who attended the meeting.

Agency heads were looking for guidance on what to do if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers showed up at public buildings.

Mr. Adams, who has said he would not publicly criticize Mr. Trump, told his staff that he had a responsibility to continue to work with the president, according to the officials, who asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak about the private meeting. The meeting was first reported by The City, an online news organization.
