Mayor Eric Adams responded to a controversial remark made by former Trump official Tom Homan concerning illegal immigration in a joint appearance on Fox News. Homan warned he would be "up Adams' butt" if the mayor failed to enforce anti-immigration measures. Adams later described the comment as a joke but acknowledged its inappropriateness. Both officials emphasized their bipartisan efforts to tackle the ongoing border crisis and confirmed their intention to work together, including the reopening of the ICE office on Rikers Island for better coordination.
This is what we do. We joke at each other. Some of our commentary is, you know, inappropriate if you're on the stage. And he spoke with me, he says, 'You know, Eric, I mean, you know, we're on TV. I should not have said that. I apologize to you.'
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 this agreement we came to?'
We're going to deliver for the safety of the people of this city,
