The New York Times reports:
Chris Sommerfeldt, who covers City Hall for The Daily News, spent part of Tuesday reporting on ICE agents’ arrest of Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller, at a Manhattan courthouse.
By then, he was already the subject of some interest himself, after Mayor Eric Adams took the extraordinary step of barring him in the future from the weekly City Hall news conferences that are reporters’ only regular chance to ask Mr. Adams whatever they want.
The mayor, whose interactions with reporters have often been contentious, imposed the ban after calling Mr. Sommerfeldt “disruptive” and “disrespectful” for shouting questions without being called on first, as is the custom at the so-called off-topic events.
Read the full article. Positively Trumpian. Adams had refused to call on Sommerfeldt for months, per the Times.
This is a blatant lie from @KaylaMamelak.
Reporters asked on 5/20 why @C_Sommerfeldt continued to not be called on, which had been going on for a while. Chris later explained to her it had been going on for months. https://t.co/ESempoG0hT pic.twitter.com/t4eVQ754zG

On The Reset Talk Show, Mayor Adams says @bradlander‘s “just joining the club” in being arrested by the feds.
“I know what it is to get arrested by federal authorities because you’re fighting,” Adams says, referring to his federal corruption indictment. pic.twitter.com/Afr7DDdjV2
