“I've made it clear that I'm not going to go to war with this administration. I'm going to work with this administration,” Adams said Tuesday.
Adams indicated he would like to meet with Trump-appointed border czar Tom Homan to discuss plans to deport New York City's illegal aliens.
“We cannot ignore the fact that the American people have told us loud and clear that our system is broken and they want us to fix it,” Adams continued.
To further his case, Adams also highlighted examples of immigrant criminals like Bernardo Castro Mata, a 19-year-old Venezuelan illegal immigrant who reportedly shot and killed two New York City police officers.
“There's a man on camera shooting police officers. Plain and simple, I don't want that guy in my town. He rapes a young woman, then leaves, and then he goes back and does it again.” There are men who rape people, and we don't want them living on the streets,” Adams declared. “People who come here and commit crimes, shoot at police officers, rob, and rape innocent people are harming our country.”
Adams' comments come as other Democratic mayors, including Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, have vowed to stubbornly resist Trump's mass deportation campaign.
“Cancel! Because I'm going to protect the people of this city, so if you come to this country, to this city, and try to harm innocent New Yorkers, innocent immigrants and asylum seekers, Because if you think, this is not the mayor you want in the city below,'' Adams said, drawing a line in the sand against Lefty.

“I strongly believe that my history is sitting down with people from across the aisle who think differently and sharing my ideas,” Adams added. “I believe I have some ideas that can address this problem, so we can secure our borders, deal with those who are committing acts of violence within the country, and make our people…safe.” .”
Last weekend, during a podcast appearance, Mayor Adams also defended Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine who was arrested while trying to protect onlookers from threats from “homeless drug addict and Michael Jackson impersonator” Jordan Neely. did.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Adams appeared on “The Rob Astorino Show” and defended Penny. The two spoke briefly about the case that has captivated the city since the former Marine was charged with killing Neely aboard Manhattan's F train in May 2023.
“The passengers were scared. They came on the subway. As a police officer, I know what it's like to struggle and fight with someone,” Adams told the host. “It's essential that we look at the bigger picture of this issue…We're hearing someone's voice on the subway. [Neely] You're talking about hurting people, killing people… You have someone.
