NYC Mayor Adams Proposes Migrant Deportation Plan

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has shifted his stance on immigration, expressing readiness to deport migrants charged with crimes and collaborating with the incoming Trump administration to address the issue. He pointed to specific cases, such as a Venezuelan migrant accused of shooting NYPD officers, stating, "I don’t want that guy in my city." Adams emphasized that law-abiding undocumented immigrants should not face deportation, aligning his position with past Democratic leaders like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He criticized progressive reluctance to confront crime among migrants and announced plans to meet with Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to strategize on deportations. Adams acknowledged the city's significant financial burden from the migrant crisis, suggesting that funds could be better spent on local services. Despite facing federal corruption charges, he remains focused on public safety and reducing asylum seeker numbers in NYC.
