Teachers' union heard coaching migrants evading ICE despite Homan's warning to Democrat leaders

A recently surfaced video has emerged, showing a New York City teachers’ union representative offering advice on how to assist migrant families in avoiding encounters with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. 

During a Zoom session, a spokesperson for the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) can be heard instructing educators on ways to support undocumented immigrants in eluding ICE both at home and in public, as depicted in a video shared by the New York Post published by the New York Post.

“If ICE comes to the home, you do not have to open the door,” the representative can be heard saying in the video.

“The memo was sent out before the new administration took office,” Adams said in a press conference Wednesday.

“This type of guidance is not unprecedented,” he added. “We will consistently provide our staff with appropriate advice and support to ensure they are not at risk.”

Border czar Tom Homan delivered a warning last month to blue cities and states resisting the Trump administration’s mass deportations.

“We’re just trying to help public safety in your community,” Homan told Fox News in January. “Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want — more agents in the communities, more people arrested, more collaterals arrested. So that’s a game they want to play? Game on.”

Homan’s sparring with Democrat leaders around the country included saying he would be willing to jail Denver Mayor Mike Johnston over his deportation protests.

Homan met with Adams in December, and Adams said after the meeting that they “share the same desire” to go after illegal immigrant criminals.

Adams’ office did not immediately respond for comment.
