<p>Border Czar Tom Homan pushed back over the weekend against suggestions that there was a corrupt deal between President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Eric Adams that led to Adams allowing local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials in removing illegal aliens from the city.</p>
<p>Homan made the remarks during a Sunday interview with CNN&#8217;s Dana Bash on &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; when asked if federal corruption charges against Adams were dropped in-exchange for Adams&#8217; compliance with executing Trump&#8217;s immigration agenda.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, I think that&#8217;s ridiculous,&#8221; Homan responded. &#8220;Me and Mayor Adams met a couple months ago. I think it was probably eight, nine weeks ago we met. And we had the same discussion. And we talked about getting a presence in Rikers Island. We talked about how we can collaborate on public safety threats and finding the missing children that were &#8212; that can be found after they release the sponsors.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We had that a couple months ago, long before this other discussion,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So I don&#8217;t think it had anything to do with it. Matter of fact, the meeting went very well. It was the same meeting we had a few weeks ago. The reason we had the follow-up meeting because there was no action being done.&#8221;</p>
<p>Homan pushed back against claims that he was unsatisfied with the previous meeting that he&#8217;d had with Adams.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, I didn&#8217;t come out of that meeting unsatisfied,&#8221; he said. &#8220;After several weeks, I was taken back that we hadn&#8217;t gotten the action yet about getting to Rikers Island.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So we rescheduled the meeting to talk about, OK, well, we talked about how — what things we need to put in place how we can make this happen,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what the meeting Thursday was about. And we came out Thursday with a plan in how we can get in Rikers Island in the Criminal Intelligence Division, so we can understand who&#8217;s in there, who&#8217;s foreign-born in Rikers Island that&#8217;s a significant public safety threat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We also talked about how we can collaborate on the missing children, many of them are going to be in New York City,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what we talked about. I really don&#8217;t think it had anything to do with whatever&#8217;s going on in Justice Department. We never talked about that. It&#8217;s kind of out of my lane.&#8221;</p>
