Border Czar Tom Homan met with New York Mayor Eric Adams to discuss how the city can work with the Trump admin to deport dangerous illegal aliens.
Mayor Adams, who has been increasingly conciliatory towards Trump, told The New York Times that he specifically requested the meeting with Homan.
“We’re looking at ways that I can use my executive power to go after those dangerous, violent people,” Adams told CBS News.
“I made it clear that I’m not going to be warring with his administration, I’m going to be working with his administration.”
Adams has been praised by members of the city administration for his attitude towards the new regime.
City Councilman Robert Holden, a Democrat, said Adams’ meeting with Homan is a “critical step in the right direction.”
“I commend the mayor for his strong stance in declaring that New York City will not be a safe haven for criminal migrants and for directing his legal team to explore ways to ensure public safety.”
Holden has campaigned for the city and state to reverse their sanctuary policy for illegal immigrants.
Adams has blamed the Biden administration for bringing the Big Apple to breaking point. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have arrived in the city over the last four years.
“This issue will destroy New York City, destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month,” Adams told city residents at a town hall last year.
“I said it last year when we had 15,000, I’m telling you now with 110,000. The city we knew we’re about to lose and we all in this together.”
Adams also said the crisis has caused an “erosion of the quality of life” in the city.
“For many months, we were able to keep the visualization of this crisis from hitting our streets, but we have reached a breaking point.”
