As many prominent Democrats are planning to oppose the President-elect, NYC Mayor Eric Adams plans to work with the incoming administration to deport migrants charged with crimes from his city.

From The New York Post. Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that he’s open to deporting migrants from New York City who have been charged with crimes — a shift from his past stance of waiting for convictions before shipping off immigrant criminals.

Adams said he soon plans to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan on the incoming administration’s plans to potentially deport accused migrant criminals.

“My position is people who commit crimes in our city, you have abdicated your right to be in our city and I am open to figure out the best way to address that,” he said. …

He added: “Those who are here committing crimes, robberies shooting at police officers, raping innocent people, have been a harm to our country.” …

“Cancel me, because I’m going to protect the people of this city,” he said.

The mayor’s newfound openness to hardline actions comes as the Big Apple … braces for Trump’s promised mass deportations and other crackdowns.

Homan recently told The Post that he wants the incoming administration to withhold federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions such as New York City.

He has also warned that Big Apple leaders won’t be able to stop the feds from deporting migrant criminals. …

Rather than fight Homan and Trump, Adams offered an olive branch, arguing the 2024 presidential election showed Americans want a change on immigration and the US border.

“The American people heard it and voted for it,” he said about Trump’s promises to secure the border.

He said spoke with Homan Tuesday and soon will meet with the incoming border czar.

“I want to make clear I’m not going to warring with this administration, I’m going to be working with this administration,” he said. …
