The Ministry of Justice asked a judge before the US district court in Manhattan last week.

The judge Dale Ho carried out a hearing on Wednesday, but ended them on the grounds that he would later rule.

Seven federal prosecutors, including the Interim's attorney in Manhattan, resigned in protest against an order of a Top -Doj officer to dismiss the case.

The Doj argues that the discharge is necessary to avoid Adam's ability to work with the immigration authorities of the Trump government, and its ability to look for a re -election this year.

However, if the case is rejected unscathed, the prosecutors, as the Doj demands, would have the right to publish criminal charges against Adams if they wish.

Adams approved last week to enable the immigration and customs authorities of the federal immigration and customs employment on Rikers Island, the city's largest prison complex.
