A recently surfaced video shows a New York City teachers’ union representative providing instructions on how to help migrant families avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. 

A representative for the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) can be heard coaching educators on how to help illegal immigrants evade ICE at home and in public, in a Zoom session released by the New York Post.

“If ICE comes to the home, you do not have to open the door,” the representative can be heard saying in the video.

“The memo was sent out before the new administration took office,” Adams said in a press conference Wednesday.

“This guidance is nothing new,” he continued. “We’re going to constantly give our employees…the right direction. We’re never going to put them in harm’s way.”

Border czar Tom Homan delivered a warning last month to blue cities and states resisting the Trump administration’s mass deportations.

“We’re just trying to help public safety in your community,” Homan told Fox News in January. “Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want — more agents in the communities, more people arrested, more collaterals arrested. So that’s a game they want to play? Game on.”

Homan’s sparring with Democrat leaders around the country included saying he would be willing to jail Denver Mayor Mike Johnston over his deportation protests.

Homan met with Adams in December, and Adams said after the meeting that they “share the same desire” to go after illegal immigrant criminals.

Adams’ office did not immediately respond for comment.
