New York City Mayor Eric Adams is seemingly cozying up to Trump's rhetoric on immigration, incorrectly claiming that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to the right of due process under the U.S. Constitution. The assertion illustrates how Adams and the President-elect may be forming an unlikely alliance, at least on immigration enforcement issues.
Asked during a news briefing about how his own legal charges affect his view on migrants, the Democratic mayor— who is facing felony corruption and bribery charges in federal court— said the rights he has are not the same as someone who "snuck" into the country.
