In order to deport criminal migrants, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has stated that he would “love” to collaborate with Tom Homan, Donald Trump’s new border czar.
Regarding immigration, the Democrat leader, who has hinted that he may seek a second term in 2025, stated that he is not scared of being “canceled” by being “honest about the truth.”

Adams, 64, a former captain of the NYPD, stated during a press conference, “Those who are here committing crimes – robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people – have been a harm to our country.”
He added, “Those are the people I am talking about and I would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we’re going to address those who are harming our citizens.”
Adams continued by saying that while prior Democratic administrations promised to follow suit, this stance had not altered.
He noted, “You know what’s interesting – I want you to all go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama – Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city, and what they said in our country.”
“They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position,” he continued.
“So this is not a new position, because in the era of “cancel culture” (everyone) is afraid to be honest about the truth.”
He added, “Well, cancel me, because I’m going to protect the people of this city.
“If you come into this country and this city and think you’re going to harm innocent New Yorkers – and innocent migrants and asylum seekers – this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.”
From his very first day in the White House after the January 20 inauguration, Trump and Homan have promised to begin deporting “millions” of migrants. They intend to begin by targeting the super gangs that terrorize American cities and then cracking down on asylum apps used by migrants to obtain interviews. Homan has also stated that the incoming president will withhold federal funds from any states that do not follow the mass deportation plans.
Under Presidents Barack Obama and Trump, the new border leader held senior positions in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In mid-November, Adams bemoaned what he saw as the “broken” immigration system under President Joe Biden and stated that he thinks he can help the Trump administration with its goals.
Additionally, Adams designated New York City as a sanctuary city, which means that local and immigration officers are not allowed to work together due to its regulations.
Concerning immigration, Adams, who has indicated that he would seek a second term in 2025, stated that he is not scared of being “canceled” by being “honest about the truth.”
He told reporters then, “I am willing to sit down with this administration like I tried to sit down with the previous administration in my 10 trips to Washington to say: we have a problem that is overrunning our cities.”
He continued, “I’m hoping this administration will hear what I’m saying and listen to some of the ideas I have been pushing for… close to two years now.”
Adams continued by stating that he was not shocked by the majority of Trump supporters in the five boroughs, pointing out that immigration was one of their main grievances.
Mayor Adam noted that the voters are saying “We need to secure our border, we need to make sure cities are not experiencing what New York City experienced.”
He concluded, “The voters communicated loudly and clearly: We have a broken immigration system, it needs to be fixed. That’s the only conversation I want.”
