Border Czar Tom Homan is reportedly frustrated with New York City’s lack of action in supporting President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts, setting the stage for a tense follow-up meeting with Mayor Eric Adams.

Homan will meet with Adams at New York City’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters at 26 Federal Plaza on Thursday morning, marking their second face-to-face discussion, sources told The New York Post.

The meeting follows their initial sit-down at Gracie Mansion in December, during which Adams pledged to crack down on criminal migrants and consider reopening ICE’s office on Rikers Island.

Following their December meeting, Adams indicated he was considering issuing an executive order to revise New York City’s sanctuary policies, which currently limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

However, sources say Homan has not seen the level of progress he expected.

“Homan is not happy and hasn’t seen enough progress,” a source familiar with the situation stated.

The source also noted that Homan is pushing for immediate action, rather than waiting for policy changes next year.

“Homan wants something immediate and doesn’t want to wait till next January. The mayor has emergency order power. He’s going to have to beg and be a good boy for Trump.”

During a radio interview on Tuesday, Homan confirmed his upcoming meeting with Adams and emphasized the need for local law enforcement to work alongside federal immigration authorities.

“I’m hoping we come to an agreement where his officers will help my officers remove these public safety threats, especially Tren de Aragua and the other alien gangs that are creating havoc in New York,” Homan said.

Mayoral spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak reiterated Adams’ position on working with the Trump administration while maintaining control over the city’s policies.

“That work includes meeting with ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan to discuss going after the violent offenders who are wreaking havoc on our streets,” Mamelak said in a statement.

“We will continue to explore all lawful processes to remove violent migrants from our city. We hope to increase collaboration across law enforcement agencies to ensure we are working together to prevent violent gang activity.”

While Adams has previously expressed willingness to work with federal authorities, his administration has not yet publicly announced any changes to the city’s sanctuary policies.

With the second meeting approaching, Homan is expected to press for more concrete action from City Hall.

As Trump’s administration continues its crackdown on illegal immigration, local governments across the country, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York, are facing increasing pressure to cooperate with federal enforcement efforts.

The outcome of the meeting between Homan and Adams could signal whether the city is prepared to align with Trump’s policies or maintain its current stance on immigration enforcement.
