President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan is meeting with New York City Mayor Eric Adams Thursday to discuss collaboration between federal authorities and the NYPD in cracking down on known criminal aliens in the Big Apple – especially members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang, a source told Fox News.

The visit comes shortly after federal authorities dropped a corruption case against Adams kicked off under the Biden-Harris administration, which the mayor had alleged was political retaliation for his opposition to an open border policy that sent hundreds of thousands of illegals to New York. Adams has denied breaking the law and met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month.

Homan said he’s hoping he can reach an agreement with the mayor where the NYPD helps remove known threats to public safety.

Another potential area of agreement would be reopening an office for Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the city’s main jail on Rikers Island, an idea he floated during a previous meeting with Homan, according to local reports.

“If you don’t comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable,” Bondi said. “We did it to Illinois, strike one. Strike two is New York. And if you are a state not complying with federal law, you’re next. Get ready.” 

Hochul, who narrowly won re-election over Republican Lee Zeldin in a deeply Democrat state, called it a publicity stunt.

ICE said Thursday that its crackdown in the Big Apple was already helping make the streets of New York safer after a joint operation nabbed multiple gang members, drug traffickers and other “dangerous criminals.”
