NEW YORK -- President-elect Donald Trump's plan for mass deportation intensified Thursday as New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with incoming "border czar" Tom Homan.
Critics are worried Adams will ultimately go too far in cooperating with the Trump administration's plan to deport migrants and alter New York's status as a sanctuary city.

Protest against Tom Homan's visit
Adams sought the high-stakes meeting with Homan as other elected officials demanded President Joe Biden take actions to protect migrants from President-elect Trump and the mayor.
"Is the mayor going to stand up for a constitutional due process or is he so hungry for a pardon for his own due process that he is going to throw New Yorkers under the bus?" said New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a Democratic who is also running for mayor.
Faith and community leaders joined immigrant New Yorkers for a rally outside City Hall to denounce the meeting, saying they are worried it signals the city's willingness to align with the Trump administration's immigration policies.
"Mayor Adams, as we know, has already been indicted. I think Mayor Adams is playing footsie in order to get himself off the hook and get himself pardoned," said Dr. Steve Auerback, with Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.
"He should be protecting all New Yorkers, including immigrant communities," said Jennifer Hernandez, with Make the Road New York.
