The head of the US immigration and customs police (ICE), Tom Homan on the air of Fox TV threatened the consequences of the New York mayor Eric Adams, if he refuses to follow the immigration policy of President Donald Trump.
“The Border Tsar” Trumpa warned that if the mayor does not cope with his duties and would not fulfill the promises to allow immigration agencies to work on the island of Rickers, he will return to New York to figure out.
“We will not sit on the couch. I will be in his office and say:” Where the hell is the agreement that we agreed to? “He said in a humorous tone. In response, Adams said with a smile:” ” I came to New York and, of course, was not going to return with anything. “
Adams appeared in the program together with Homann the day after several federal prosecutors resigned in response to the demand of the Ministry of Justice to remove the charges of corruption from him.
The previously acting US prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, Daniel Sassun, fired after the Ministry of Justice demanded that the accusations be removed from Adams. Also, five more employees of the department announced their dismissal.
Adams announced plans to allow ICE employees to work in a prison complex on the island of Rairers. According to the law signed in 2014 by the then mayor Bill de Blazio, immigration and customs agents cannot be in the territory of a correctional institution. But the mayor has the opportunity to provide access “for purposes not related to immigration legislation”.
