Immigration advocates are calling on the city and state to better prepare for a second Donald Trump presidency. 

It comes as Mayor Eric Adams says he plans to cooperate with the Trump administration on how to handle the number of migrants coming to the city.

Adams said on MSNBC that he has scheduled a call with incoming Border Czar Tom Homan for Thursday, Dec. 12. Meanwhile, a coalition of advocate groups is preparing a different way.

They are calling on the state to invest $165 million to shore up legal services and infrastructure for any New Yorkers in need.

Shayna Kessler, the director of the Vera Institute’s Advancing Universal Representation Initiative, sat down with Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Thursday to talk more about what the coalition is calling for.

“The real issue is that having access to representation in deportation proceedings in immigration court is a matter of fundamental fairness. It is something that protects families,” Kessler said. “It’s an immigration system that is incredibly complex and nearly impossible to navigate successfully without legal help.”
