Trump administration border czar Tom Homan has renewed his threats to inundate New York City with ICE agents. The move signals what could become the largest enforcement operation inside a single city since the White House retreated from major raids following a botched January surge in Minneapolis that claimed the lives of two Americans.
According to Homan, the retaliatory surge stems from a series of measures New York enacted last month to limit local police from assisting federal immigration officers—a legislative package Homan claims he explicitly urged Gov. Kathy Hochul to veto.
