NYC Mayor Eric Adams teams up with Tom Homan after corruption case is dropped

Democratic Mayor of New York City Eric Adams appeared on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" Friday morning along with Trump's border czar Tom Homan. This comes after a corruption case brought forth by the Department of Justice was dropped earlier in the week.

During a recent interview, Adams discussed working with the Trump administration regarding a plan for mass deportations and addressed the decision by the DOJ to drop federal charges against him. Adams faced accusations that the charges were dropped in exchange for his cooperation on deporting undocumented immigrants in New York City. Last September, Adams was charged with bribery for accepting expensive overseas trips paid for by wealthy Turkish nationals, but he pleaded not guilty. The charges were later dropped.

Adams called claims of a deal with the Trump DOJ “silly,” explaining that he has been pushing for stronger immigration enforcement in New York City since 2022, long before the bribery charges were filed by the Biden administration and then dropped by the Trump administration.

On Friday, Homan promised to hold Adams accountable for his commitment to Trump’s immigration policies. Homan said, “If he doesn’t come through, I’ll be back in New York City, and we won’t be sitting on the couch – I’ll be in his office, up his butt, saying, ‘Where the hell is the agreement we came to?’” Adams and Homan appeared together on “Fox & Friends” to discuss how they are working together to address the city's migrant crisis,  with Adams saying, “We are fighting together to get it done.”

However, many Democrats and New York officials, including far-left lunatic Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose, have called for Adams to resign or be removed from office after the charges were dropped. New York Governor Kathy Hochul, another far-left Democrat who has the authority to remove Adams, called the allegations “extremely concerning and serious” in an interview with MSNBC. She added, “But I cannot, as the governor of this state, have a knee-jerk, politically motivated reaction.” 

Hochul also criticized the DOJ, saying, “This is unbelievably unprecedented for the Department of Justice in Washington to interfere in this way,” and accused the Trump administration’s DOJ of being “corrupt.”

The acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle R. Sassoon, resigned after refusing to drop the case against Adams. Acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove criticized her, saying, “The Justice Department will not tolerate the insubordination and apparent misconduct reflected in the approach that you and your office have taken in this matter.” 

During his “Fox & Friends” appearance, Adams said he asked the New York City Council to change existing sanctuary city laws to allow more cooperation between local police and ICE. He explained, “What I asked the City Council to do is change the bill that was already in place and modify it … if you are committing a crime, then we should be able to collaborate with ICE — even on civil enforcement if you have committed a crime.”

While Adams supports deporting violent undocumented immigrants, he is still a Democratic virtue signaler at heart and believes in sanctuary city laws to protect non-violent immigrants. He said, “Everyday people who are here, they’re moving to be documented, if they are going to school, working, paying taxes, then they should be able to provide police services, hospital services, children should go to school.” 

Homan disagreed, stating, “I’m strictly against sanctuary city status because I think sanctuaries are for criminals.” Adams responded, “But the beauty here is that we’re allowed to disagree. But we do agree on the fundamental that no matter who you are, it should be safe.”

And screw all those legal immigrants who went through the process, waited for their turn, learned about the US laws, and watched the illegal aliens jump the line.
