Adams previously said he wants to work with the incoming Trump administration, especially on immigration and border security after his city has struggled to address an influx of migrants.
The mayor’s office said last week that more than 229,000 migrants have arrived in New York City seeking city services since the spring of 2022.
He met with incoming border czar Tom Homan in December 2024.

“Yeah, I would, I think that he was treated pretty unfairly,” Trump said at a news conference Dec. 16.

Trump’s inauguration is on Monday, Jan. 20.
Adams told NY1 News last week he would like to attend the event. There’s no official word on whether he’ll be there.
