Mayor Eric Adams says he's 'best' person to fix Rikers Island
Mayor Eric Adams told incoming border czar Tom Homan he wants to reopen the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office on Rikers Island — sparking swift outrage from immigration advocates and setting up an almost-certainly fierce fight with the City Council.
Mega Millions jackpot winner says he purchased both $394M prize tickets — but lost second one as he sues lottery “Our mayor is completely out of touch with our own laws, what he can and cannot do,” she added, “and he is making the wrong call.” Adams said he’ll direct his team to explore ways to reopen the ICE office at the lockup using an executive order, Homan said.“He would like us to , but he said he’s got to talk to his legal staff about what’s the possibility of him doing that through executive order,” Homan said of Adams.
Restoring the Rikers office would allow ICE officers to keep foreign-born criminal offenders behind bars before deportation, they argued. “ICE already has the cooperation of the city as it relates to convicted individuals. This mayor is using the GOP’s fear-mongering tactics to serve his own interests and to escape his own dirty dealings. Perhaps he should just switch parties.”
The stance that Adams is advancing Trump’s immigration agenda was echoed by Homan and sources familiar with their conversation.Homan went further, hinting that his sit-down with Adams paved the way for potential future meetings with mayors of sanctuary cities.“He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail,” Homan told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
