  • Judge Ho will have a hearing on Wednesday to determine whether to accept the DOJ's motion to dismiss the case against the New York City mayor.

The article from Slate discusses a contentious hearing involving New York City Mayor Eric Adams, where his administration's legal team, led by Emil Bove, faced off against Judge Dale Ho in a case regarding the city's right to shelter policy. The hearing was marked by a series of confrontations, with Judge Ho expressing frustration over the city's handling of the shelter system, particularly in light of the influx of migrants. Adams' team argued that the city was overwhelmed and needed relief from the legal obligation to provide shelter to all who request it.

The tension was palpable, with Ho at one point admonishing Bove for his courtroom demeanor, highlighting the broader political and legal battle over immigration and local governance in New York City.
