“You are going to see more ICE agents than you have ever seen in New York City."
The Trump administration is set to surge Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in New York City in response to Governor Kathy Hochul' recent anti-ICE measures in an effort to protect illegal immigrants from deportation.
“You are going to see more ICE agents than you have ever seen in New York City. And it’s coming. I just reviewed an operational plan. I’m not going to tell you exactly when it’s going to happen, but it’s coming,” Border Czar Tom Homan told Fox and Friends in an appearance on Monday.
“I’m keeping my promise. We are going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safe arrests in county jails,” he added.
The bill that was signed by Hochul last month bans federal authorities from using public state and local facilities for immigration enforcement. In addition, the bill prohibits ICE officers from wearing masks.
Homan had warned that if New York were to bring the legislation, that the Trump administration would surge more ICE officers to New York, similarly to what has been done in places such as Minneapolis and Portland.
“If we can work with the sheriffs and arrest the 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?” Homan
“I said but if you sign the legislation that I think you are getting about ready to sign, that means I am going to send more agents to New York because rather than one guy arresting one bad guy in a jail now we got to send a whole team into a neighborhood to find this person that didn’t want to be found because of officer safety reasons, you know, now we have to arrest this guy on his turf,” Homan added on Fox and Friends.
