NEW YORK CITY — President Trump's border czar Tom Homan is expected to meet with Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday to discuss ongoing deportations of criminal migrants in the city.
Homan revealed his plans during a “Cats & Cosby Show” interview on WABC 770 AM.
“I’m coming up there Thursday to meet with the mayor – either he comes to the table or we go around him,” Homan said. “I’m hoping we come to an agreement where his officers can help my officers in removing these public safety threats.”

Homan previously met with Adams back in December, with the mayor signaling he would cooperate with the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal criminal migrants.
“He’s all in on arresting public safety threats that are here illegally,” Homan said during the radio interview.

The mayor’s office has yet to confirm the Thursday meeting.
On Monday, the Justice Department ordered Manhattan prosecutors to dismiss the federal corruption case against Adams, Patch previously reported.
Adams on Tuesday said the DOJ's decision proved his innocence.
"I never asked anyone to break the law on my behalf or on behalf of my campaign, never. I never traded my power as an elected official for any personal benefit,” Adams said. “I thank the Justice Department for its honesty. Now, we can put this cruel episode behind us and focus entirely on the future of our city. It’s time to move forward.”
