Commit a crime, get deported before doing the time.

Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that he’s open to deporting migrants from New York City who have been charged with crimes — a shift from his past stance of waiting for convictions before shipping off immigrant criminals.

Adams said he soon plans to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan on the incoming administration’s plans to potentially deport accused migrant criminals.

“My position is people who commit crimes in our city, you have abdicated your right to be in our city and I am open to figure out the best way to address that,” he said.

“You’ve got a guy, he’s on camera shooting at a police officer,” he said, referring to Bernardo Castro Mata, a 19-year-old from Venezuela who illegally crossed into the US before allegedly shooting two NYPD officers.

“I don’t want that guy in my city, plain and simple.”

He added: “Those who are here committing crimes, robberies shooting at police officers, raping innocent people, have been a harm to our country.”

Hizzoner contended many progressives in this era of “cancel culture” have been afraid to put their foot down on deporting criminal immigrants.
