Mayor Eric Adams told incoming border czar Tom Homan he wants to reopen the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office on Rikers Island — sparking swift outrage from immigration advocates and setting up an almost-certainly fierce fight with the City Council.

The mayor’s desire to thaw the troubled jail complex’s ICE office — recounted to The Post by Homan — came during a cordial face-to-face between the pair Thursday at Gracie Mansion focused largely on sanctuary cities, deporting alleged criminal migrants and finding more than 320,000 missing migrant children, sources said.

The hardline Homan, who was handpicked by President-elect Donald Trump, said he left the hour-long sit-down convinced that the Democrat and former NYPD captain pulled a “complete 180” on his previously progressive immigration views.

>>”Adams is saving his own butt”

Exactly right. But I suppose it’s better than the alternative. I just hope he doesn’t rehabilitate his image enough to get re-elected. He’s still a lousy mayor. If I were Trump, I’d tell him, “Cooperate with us and we’ll give you leniency on your indictment, but ONLY on the condition that you don’t run for reelection.

The New York State prison system has several empty prisons after Cuomo and Hochul closed them. There’s one about 10 minutes from me that has been empty since Cuomo’s first term as Governor, and between Cuomo and Hochul, they closed at least 6-8 more within the past 3 years.

If Adams does this and allows ICE to come in and deport these illegal alien schmucks he deserves that pardon

The only rational and reasonable thing to do. And it’s good for us as a benefit.

Guess Addams is done with immigrants now. See ya, amigos!

He can stop paying for all those hotel rooms and let ICE feed and house them now.

Didn’t they put Rikers in receivership since they wouldn’t fix anything despite being so ordered by a judge.

He is a chameleon. The question is whether he was faking it earlier or is faking it now.

He could be feeling emboldened to come out as right of center now since pretending to be far left is starting to look ridiculous.

Sounds just like what was offered to Trump.

I like it.
