"NYC Council Set to Override Mayor Adams on Key Criminal Justice Bills"

The New York City Council is expected to override Mayor Eric Adams's veto of two criminal justice bills, which would expand documentation of police stops and end solitary confinement in city jails. This move would mark a significant defeat for Adams and his administration's focus on strengthening law enforcement efforts, as the bills have sparked a contentious divide between the mayor and Democratic leaders in the City Council. Despite Adams's warnings that the bills would jeopardize public safety, the Council speaker expressed confidence in having enough votes to override the veto, highlighting the rare occurrence of such actions in New York City.
