Tom Homan had one message for New York Governor Kathy Hochul that left her scared stiff
Tom Homan doesn’t have time to play games with Democrats.
He’s taking off the gloves for a major fight.
And Tom Homan had one message for New York Governor Kathy Hochul that left her scared stiff.
Tom Homan gives New York an ultimatum about cooperating with ICE
Democrats in New York have dug in their heels to oppose any effort by the Trump administration to arrest and deport illegal aliens in the state.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) and Democrat leadership have vowed to oppose the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce federal immigration law.
“Border Czar” Tom Homan traveled to the Capitol Building in Albany to deliver a blunt message.
“Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want: more agents in the community,” Homan said while surrounded by Republican lawmakers. “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.”
Hochul has a simple choice.
Cooperate with Homan or he’ll send more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers into her state.
“New York State, you’ve got to change your sanctuary status and if you don’t, get out of the way. We’re going to do our job,” Homan stated.
Homan isn’t backing down from a fight
The “Border Czar” spent a half hour railing against New York’s sanctuary policies.
He dismissed criticisms from Democrats and left-wing activists who tried to disrupt him at the Capitol.
“I work for a President who wants to save lives and make this country safe again,” Homan said. “You want to hate on me? Hate on me because I eat it up.”
Homan praised New York City Mayor Eric Adams for his willingness to cooperate with him.
“We’re working on some things, I can’t share it all with you right now,” Homan said.
The pair are scheduled to have a third sit-down meeting to discuss potential areas of cooperation.
“[Adams] wanted to get federal immigration authorities back into Rikers Island to talk to illegal aliens who committed a crime against a citizen,” Homan explained. “For a Mayor who wants to be a law and order Mayor, I think it’s the right kind of Mayor that New York City deserves and should have.”
Adams’ ability to cooperate with the Trump administration on immigration has been hampered by New York’s far-left City Council.
He wants to allow ICE agents to the Rikers Island prison to detain criminal illegal aliens before they’re released back onto the streets.
Homan said that it’s been radio silence from Hochul.
“She hasn’t communicated with me. Let’s be clear: I’m doing nothing wrong, she is,” Homan declared.
Hochul has threatened to remove Adams from office over his willingness to work with the Trump administration on immigration enforcement.
New York City Democrat Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani confronted Homan after the press conference.
“How many more New Yorkers?” Mamdani yelled. “How many more New Yorkers will you detain? How many more New Yorkers without charges? Do you believe in the First Amendment, Tom Homan?”
Tom Homan is gearing up for a fight with New York if the state doesn’t back down.
