NEW YORK CITY—New York City Mayor Eric Adams held a meeting with Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s incoming border czar, during which the two officials discussed shared law enforcement priorities for 2025 and strategies for deporting repeat lawbreakers.

The mayor, who in recent months has complained about an “overburdened shelter system” and warned that unchecked immigration would be highly destructive, said at a post-meeting press conference on Dec. 12 that neither he nor Homan has any interest in pursuing a vendetta against responsible, diligent immigrants who follow the law and contribute to the life of the city.
