The Left will do anything to stop Trump’s agenda. They’ll even break the law.
And now Trump’s Border Czar threatened one Democrat Governor over this shocking crime.
Border Czar Warns New York: Cooperate or Face an ICE Surge
Border czar Tom Homan delivered a clear message to New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday—either cooperate with federal immigration crackdowns or prepare for a flood of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across the state.
Speaking alongside Albany Republicans at the state Capitol, Homan didn’t mince words when addressing Hochul and other Democrats defending sanctuary city policies.
“Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want: more ICE agents in your community,” Homan warned.
“We’ll double the man-force if we have to. Rather than one officer arresting a bad guy, now I have to send a whole team.”
Homan’s tough stance signals the Trump administration’s ongoing commitment to enforcing immigration laws—whether blue-state leaders like it or not.
Praise for Mayor Adams Amid Crackdown Cooperation
While Homan issued sharp warnings to Governor Hochul, he struck a much different tone toward New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Despite Adams’ usual alignment with Democrat policies, Homan applauded the mayor’s willingness to work with the Trump administration on immigration enforcement.
“He’s made great commitments, we’re working on some things, I can’t share it all with you right now,” Homan said, revealing he will meet with Adams again this week—their third meeting in recent months.
The border czar also dismissed media speculation that Adams’ cooperation was tied to the Trump administration easing off a corruption investigation into the mayor’s office.
“I’ve been talking with him since November, I had nothing to do with that,” Homan stated plainly.
This unexpected alliance between Homan and Adams suggests that at least one New York Democrat understands the need for serious border enforcement.
Republicans Push Back Against Sanctuary Policies
Homan’s comments came during a rally led by Republican lawmakers pushing to repeal New York’s controversial Green Light Law—a measure that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.
GOP leaders are also pushing for passage of the state’s Laken Riley Act, which aims to dismantle sanctuary city policies.
When asked whether he would meet with Governor Hochul during his time in Albany, Homan’s response was simple: “She knows my number.”
With the Trump administration turning up the heat on lawless sanctuary cities, it’s clear that cooperation is no longer optional. And if Hochul continues to resist, New York may soon find itself under the watchful eye of even more federal immigration agents.
