NYC Mayor Says He Wants to Work With Trump on Immigration

Eric L. Adams

Bloomberg reports that New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was indicted in September on corruption charges, has expressed interest in cooperating with the incoming Trump administration on immigration issues.

“I believe we can be helpful,” Adams said in a press conference, adding “no one has gone through” what his own administration has gone through, with more than 200,000 migrants arriving in the city in the last two years. 

“While Adams emphasized that he’s against the types of mass deportation that Trump and his surrogates advocated during the presidential campaign, he said City Council members should change local rules to allow for more coordination with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency when it comes to criminal cases.”
