Border Czar Homan Vows to ‘Flood’ New York with ICE Agents Despite Hochul’s Resistance Former Trump administration border czar Tom Homan has vowed to deploy a significant number of ICE agents to New York, despite Governor Kathy Hochul’s explicit opposition to federal immigration operations within the state. Hochul stated that federal agents are not welcome without her request, referencing a previous comment by Donald Trump. Homan, however, insists that this action is necessary for public safety and to counter legislation that would limit local police cooperation with federal immigration officers.

• Tom Homan, the former Trump administration border czar, plans to “flood” New York with ICE agents.
• Governor Kathy Hochul has stated that federal agents are not welcome in New York without her request.
• Homan’s decision is a response to proposed legislation that would prevent local police from assisting federal immigration officers.
• Homan argues that ending cooperation with federal immigration enforcement endangers public safety by hindering the arrest of criminal illegal immigrants.
• Hochul views federal immigration agents’ actions as “dangerous federal overreach” and abuses under the guise of public safety.
