New York Immigrants' Rights Advocates Protest as Trump's Border Czar Meets Mayor Eric Adams
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, immigrant justice activists rallied outside City Hall
to protest Mayor Eric Adams's meeting with Trump's incoming border czar
Tom Homan, who has vowed to enact Trump's plans for mass deportations.
This is Jennifer Hernandez of Make the Road NY.

Jennifer Hernandez: "The mayor should refuse to collaborate with the
federal government in the separation of families and make that clear to
Tom Homan."

Mayor Adams has said he will cooperate with federal immigration
authorities, threatening New York's current status as a sanctuary city.
