NYC Mayor Adams Confronts Liberal Media After Meeting Trump Border Czar [WATCH]

New York City Mayor Eric Adams stunned liberal reporters on Thursday following a meeting with former ICE director and incoming Trump Administration Border Czar, Tom Homan.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Adams, who has often found himself at odds with progressive policies, appeared resolute as he addressed the growing crisis of illegal immigration and its impact on New York City.

The mayor met with Homan to discuss the Trump Administration’s plans to deport criminal aliens and crack down on those exploiting America’s immigration system. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Adams made it clear that he supports targeting individuals who commit violent crimes, 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 declared.

“From what I heard from the incoming head of ICE is that 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.”

The mayor dismissed claims that his stance marked a departure from his previous positions. “I’ve said this before, and I’m surprised the way 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,” he said emphatically.

Adams also addressed a staggering statistic that left the room in stunned silence.

“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,” he stated.

“That’s a level of hypocrisy…”

Adams didn’t hold back as he took aim at the reporters in the room, accusing them of bias and ignoring the realities of the crisis.

“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 said before ending the press conference.

The meeting between Adams and Homan underscores the challenges facing cities like New York, which have been overwhelmed by the consequences of open-border policies.

While Adams has previously embraced some progressive immigration stances, his rhetoric suggests a growing frustration with the lack of accountability and the human toll of illegal immigration.
