During a press briefing on Monday, NYC Mayor Eric Adams (D-NY) was asked about President Trump planning to 'flood' Democrat-run cities with ICE agents as part of his deportation effort.
00:00So I'm sure you've seen the president mention that he's going to flood Dem Run cities, our city, with large waves of ICE agents for the single largest mass deportation program in history.
00:11What input do you guys have? What do you know about it? Have you had meetings? What can you tell people about what's coming up?
00:18The commissioner and deputy mayor, Daughtry, will be communicating with the federal government and find out exactly what initiatives are going to take place.
00:30We're clear we do not in any way collaborate with civil enforcement.
00:37We're going to always collaborate with criminal actions like we did when we partnered to take a take down 27 gang members who were doing harmful things to undocumented people as well as documented people.
00:50And so we will dig into exactly what the next steps are.
00:54But I can't be clearer. The federal government is in charge of immigrant immigration enforcement.
01:00They are in charge of that. And we are not going to collaborate with civil enforcement.
01:06And we're going to encourage people to not live in fear and go on with their lives.
