New York City Mayor Eric Adams shocked liberal reporters on Thursday after meeting with President-elect Trump’s incoming Border Czar, Tom Homan, to discuss the new administration’s plan to deport criminal aliens. The meeting, which drew significant attention, signaled a dramatic shift in tone from Adams as he expressed alignment with the Trump team’s immigration enforcement goals.
During a press conference following the meeting, Adams made it clear that his priority is protecting New Yorkers from violent offenders, regardless of their immigration status. “We’re not going to be a safe haven for those who commit repeated violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants, and long-standing New Yorkers,” Adams stated firmly. “From what I heard from the incoming head of ICE, we have the same desire to go after those who are committing violent acts, repeated violent acts among innocent New Yorkers and among migration asylum seekers. That’s what I heard from him. And I was pleased to hear that, because we share the same desire.”
Adams, visibly frustrated with the media’s reaction, pushed back against the idea that his stance is a sudden departure from his previous views. “I’ve said this before, and I’m surprised the way everyone is attempting to state this is a ‘new coming of Eric Adams,’” he remarked. “[New York City] can’t be a safe haven for violent individuals.”
The mayor went on to highlight the alarming crisis of unaccompanied minors and the lack of accountability in tracking them. “We have 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country that we can’t find. We can’t find them. We don’t know if they’re doing child labor. We don’t know if they’re doing sex crimes. We don’t know if they’re being exploited — 500,000 children. There’s a level of hypocrisy…”
The remarks underscored a growing concern about the impact of the Biden administration’s immigration policies on public safety and the well-being of vulnerable migrants, particularly children. Adams’ willingness to engage with Tom Homan and his no-nonsense approach to enforcing the law appears to signal that he is prioritizing safety over political correctness.
Before wrapping up his press conference, Adams made his frustration with the press crystal clear. “I’m going to answer a few questions and then I am leaving because it’s not going to matter what I respond to anyway, you have your preconceived thoughts already,” he snapped.
The mayor’s remarks were a stunning rebuke to the liberal media and a clear indication that even Democratic leaders in cities like New York are feeling the strain of the unchecked immigration policies that have defined the last four years.
