Eric Adams defends ICE, backs deportations, and rips the far left for standing with criminals instead of law enforcement.

Eric Adams just did something nobody expected—he defended ICE, and took a blowtorch to the far left for demonizing law enforcement.

And honestly? It might be the most reasonable thing he’s ever said.

Adams said speaking to Laura Trump on Fox:

“One of the big mistakes that’s being made in some parts of the far-left philosophy is that ICE is a criminal organization,”

“They are not. They are part of our law enforcement community — FBI, HSI, postal service investigators — they are part of our law enforcement community.”

He wasn’t just breaking with his old party. He was calling it out.

“We have to get bad, dangerous people off our street. I continue today of collaborating with our city, state and federal agencies to go after dangerous people.”

And when the left tries to spin deporting violent illegal immigrants into a political attack?

Adams doesn’t flinch.

“So people who want to turn this into a political agenda, I’m focused on New Yorkers,” he said. “80% of New Yorkers are stating, those who commit dangerous acts that are undocumented [illegal], after they are convicted and serve their time, they should be deported.”

Then he made it personal.

“I’m in alignment with working class people in this city and in this country,” he added. “That is what I believe in.”

The far left may want ICE gone—but Adams just flipped the script.
Like many things, "Being a welcoming society" and being a "sanctuary" sounds better in principle than it works in reality. Importing somebody else's poopy diapers makes them your poopy diapers.
