Border czar Tom Homan said Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to send a massive deployment of officers to New York City in light of Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent legislative package that boosts protections for residents from federal authorities. The legislative package, which was passed last month, bans state and local law enforcement from using their authority to act as civil immigration agents and prohibits law enforcement officers from wearing masks. It also blocks ICE from entering schools or hospitals without a judicial warrant.
Homan said the surge in ICE agents will mark the largest deployment the city has ever seen and comes after he warned the state of the influx last month if the legislative package passed.
“You are going to see more ICE agents than you have ever seen in New York City,” he told “Fox and Friends.” “I just reviewed an operational plan. I’m not going to tell you exactly when it’s going to happen, but it’s coming.
“I’m keeping my promise,” he continued. “We are going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safe arrests in county jails.”
The warning comes after ICE increased its presence and operations in other major Democrat-run cities, including Minneapolis, Minnesota and Charlotte, North Carolina.
