New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he is open to deporting migrants who have been charged with crimes ahead of a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump’s new Border Czar Tom Homan.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Adams said he has requested a meeting with Homan to talk about the incoming Trump administration's plans for dealing with the influx of immigrants that have overwhelmed the city's emergency shelter system. He said he doesn't plan to fight Trump's pledges to deport criminals illegally living in America.

"I would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we are going to address those who are harming our citizens," the Democrat told reporters. "I'm going to be working with this administration."
