Homan Warns Hochul: Thanks to Your New Law, You're About to Get 'More ICE Than You've Ever Seen'

If Border Czar Tom Homan is intimidated by the Left’s endless anti-ICE rhetoric and threats, he’s not showing it. In fact, on Monday, he announced he’s doubling down on illegal immigrant operations in New York City and plans a surge in the very near future. This is a direct “in your face” move to counter Gov. Kathy Hochul’s efforts to kneecap federal enforcement in the Empire State.

He spoke as ongoing violent anti-ICE protests continued throughout the weekend at Delaney Hall, a detention facility in nearby Newark, New Jersey.

It’s coming, he told Fox & Friends:

Trump border czar Tom Homan revealed Monday that the administration has already drawn up an operational plan and warned Hochul before she signed legislation late last month restricting ICE activities and banning masked immigration agents in New York.
"You're going to see more ICE than you've ever seen in New York City, and it's coming," Homan said, according to Bloomberg. "I just reviewed an operational plan. I'm not going to tell you exactly when it's going to happen, but it's coming."

Watch (his NYC remarks start at the 2:10 mark):

🇺🇸 Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan announced a major ICE surge in NYC.

Homan said the city will see “more ICE than you’ve ever seen” after New York state passed a law limiting local police cooperation with immigration enforcement.

The plan shifts operations to riskier street…

Homan was asked if he was “going to stay away from New York.” No way, he responded:

No, I'm going to keep my promise to Governor Hochul.
I met with Governor Hochul a couple months ago. I explained to her how we dealt with Minnesota. Right?
If we can work with the sheriffs and arrest a bad guy in the safety and security of the jail, that means less teams into the neighborhoods, which causes a lot of panic, a lot of problems, right?

I said, well, if you sign the legislation that I think you're getting about ready to sign, that means I'm going to send more agents to New York, because now, rather than one guy wrestling one bad guy in the jail, now we've got to send a whole team into the neighborhood to find this person — and they don't want to be found.

It’s just common sense, he explained, something that’s all too often missing in blue “sanctuary” states:

Now we got to arrest this guy on his turf [where he might have access] to weapons. I told her, it's safer for the community. It's safer for the officers. It's safer for the aliens to have these cooperations with the jails.
She signed the legislation anyways.

Indeed, she signed the “Local Cops, Local Crimes” measure in late May, a bill that further minimizes the state’s law enforcement's cooperation with ICE. She may find that wasn’t such a good idea when ICE agents start flooding the streets in the near future.

Homan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in late May that he's not backing down on his efforts, period:

🚨 NOW — Q: Do you buy the polls showing Americans no longer support deportations?

TOM HOMAN: "We're NOT STOPPING DEPORTATIONS, NOT STOPPING ARRESTS. I don't care about poll numbers. I'm not running a popularity contest! We're not arresting [ENOUGH]!"

Note to NYC: It’s coming. If you're trying to find someone to blame, just look toward Albany.

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
