Mayor Adams, Border Czar Homan Meet on Immigration

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, to discuss the city's migrant crisis and potential deportation strategies, particularly for criminal migrants. The meeting, taking place at City Hall, follows Adams' calls for a tougher stance on deporting violent offenders while balancing the city's sanctuary status, which would require City Council approval to change. Homan, known for his hardline immigration stance, has vowed to initiate mass deportations, starting with criminal offenders, threatening to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities that resist cooperation. As tensions rise, immigrant advocacy groups are planning protests, urging Adams to protect undocumented immigrants against the anticipated aggressive policies of the incoming administration. Adams has expressed a willingness to cooperate with Homan but maintains his opposition to mass deportations. This meeting represents a critical moment as the city grapples with the implications of the new federal immigration policies and their impact on local communities.
