New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, met with incoming border czar Tom Homan on Thursday, a meeting that both men described in positive terms.

“His goal is the same goal I have,” Adams said at a press conference following the meeting. “We cannot allow dangerous individuals to commit repeated violent acts of violence in our cities across America.”

Homan said in an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw after the meeting that he believes what he and Adams discussed Thursday “may save lives,” expressing gratitude toward Adams for meeting with him.

“I’m grateful that biggest city in this country, the biggest sanctuary city in this country, is willing to come to the table and help me with my two biggest priorities: criminals and children,”

Homan said in the interview with McGraw, which aired on his platform Merit TV.

Homan also laid out during the interview what he sees as misconceptions about President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation plans.

“This isn’t a racial sweep. This isn’t military personnel driving through your neighborhood. This is a targeted, well-planned operation,” Homan said.
