NEW YORK — New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban resigned Thursday, one week after it emerged that his phone was seized as part of a federal investigation that touched several members of Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle. Caban, who had been in charge of the nation’s largest police department for about 15 months, said in an email to staff that he made the decision to resign after the “news around recent developments” had “created a distraction for our department.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD,” he added in the email obtained by The Associated Press. At a news conference Thursday, Adams praised Caban for “making our city safer” and said he had named Tom Donlon, a retired FBI official, as the interim police commissioner. Donlon previously served as the chief of the FBI’s National Threat Center and once led the Office of Homeland Security in New York, before starting his own security firm in 2020.

    For Cisco Aguilar, the job of Secretary of State is that of a referee. Perhaps that mindset originated from his years as chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission. Perhaps it comes from the teachings of his grandfather, a union leader in the Nevada mines, who taught him to speak up for his community.
