NYC Mayor Eric Adams to meet with incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan in upcoming week


Mayor Eric Adams is scheduled to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan next week amid the city’s preparations for impending changes in immigration policy. Adams expressed his eagerness to learn about the plan and how it will be executed to address the issue of migrants, especially those who commit violent crimes in New York City.

In a recent press conference, Adams took a tougher stance on migrants charged with crimes, stating that asylum seekers should be deported after being charged, breaking from his previous position requiring a conviction and time served. The meeting with Homan is set for next Thursday at City Hall as Adams considers loosening sanctuary city rules to allow local officials to collaborate with federal immigration authorities.

The upcoming shift in immigration policies from the Biden-Harris administration’s leniency towards asylum seekers to Trump’s initiative for mass deportations has led city officials to strategize behind the scenes. Homan has also pledged to crackdown on sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal authorities, threatening to withhold federal funding from non-compliant jurisdictions.

Adams stressed the need to address the issue of migrants committing violent crimes in the city, indicating a shift in his approach to immigration policy. The meeting between Mayor Adams and Tom Homan is expected to shed light on the future of immigration policy in New York City under the new administration.
