Trump border czar Tom Homan says the federal government is preparing to expand ICE activity in New York City, describing the effort as a “more ICE agents than you’ve ever seen” deployment. Speaking on Fox News, Homan dismisses attempts by New York State and New York City officials to block or limit ICE operations, and says he has reviewed an operational plan that is “coming.” Several reports link his threat to New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s approval of a legislative package that adds protections for residents and limits certain local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Homan says he previously warned Hochul that if ICE cannot work with jail officials in some New York counties, federal authorities would pursue other methods to locate immigration enforcement targets. The reports also describe a direct political dispute about whether ICE will be sent to New York and how local and state rules affect enforcement operations. Overall, the outlets agree Homan is signaling an imminent surge in ICE presence in New York City in response to state-level changes, though they do not provide specific numbers or dates.
