Tom Homan warns Mayor Adam he’ll be ‘up his butt’ on immigration
No if, ands, or butts.
Tom Homan warned Mayor Eric Adams that if Hizzoner doesn’t hold up his side of the deal to crack down on immigration, he can expect the border czar back in the Big Apple and “up his butt.”
“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?’” Homan said alongside Adams in a “Fox and Friends” interview Friday.
Seated close to Homan on a couch, Adams laughed loudly over the comments, before pointing back at Homan and saying, straight-faced, “And I want ICE to deliver.”

“We’re going to deliver for the safety of the people of this city,” he added.
The two discussed the city’s sanctuary status, which Adams defended, and efforts to bring ICE agents back to Rikers Island to target migrant criminals and gangbangers.
Adams initially said he wanted to loosen sanctuary laws to allow the NYPD to cooperate with ICE on civil enforcement, but later walked back the remarks.
“I am not opening the door to civil immigration enforcement with the federal government,” he said in a statement after the interview.

Homan blasted Gov. Kathy Hochul during the sit-down, railing against the state’s “Green Light Law,” which grants driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
“Gov. Hochul is an embarrassment to the position she holds,” Homan said.
Hochul is currently consulting with officials on the possibility of removing Adams from office, she said in an interview this week. It comes amid criticism that he is collaborating on President Trump’s immigration efforts so that the federal bribery case against him gets tossed.
