New York City Mayor Eric Adams left liberal reporters stunned on Thursday following his meeting with Tom Homan, the incoming Border Czar under the Trump Administration. The two discussed plans to deport criminal aliens, a focus that Adams later addressed in a fiery press conference.
“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 declared. He explained that his conversation with Homan revealed a shared goal: “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 also pushed back against criticism, clarifying his stance: “I’ve said this before, and I’m surprised at how everyone is attempting to state this is a ‘new coming of Eric Adams.’ [New York City] can’t be a safe haven for violent individuals.”
The mayor then delivered a startling revelation about the status of migrant children in the U.S.:

“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…”
Before wrapping up, Adams took aim at the assembled reporters, expressing frustration with their perceived bias.

“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 told the room.
