Eric Adams on Immigration

 

 


Allow ICE agents access to people arrested not yet convicted

This Valentine's Day, a new political power couple said their vows on Fox & Friends: Donald Trump's "border czar", Tom Homan, and the New York City mayor, Eric Adams. The pair appeared on the conservative TV show to discuss an agreement they had reached the day before. Their deal reversed longstanding New York City policy by letting federal immigration agents back onto Rikers Island, the city's jail complex that largely holds people who have been charged but not yet convicted of crimes.

Allow lawful non-citizens right to vote in city elections

We will empower legal immigrants with municipal voting rights. There are more than 3 million immigrants in New York City. The vast majority of these New Yorkers cannot vote in local elections even though many are legal tax-paying residents. By allowing lawfully permanent residents and other non-citizens authorized to work in the United States the right to vote, we will enfranchise nearly 1 million New Yorkers who deserve a say in how their city is run--and who runs it.
