Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan isn’t playing games when it comes to enforcing federal immigration laws—especially in sanctuary states like New York.
During a Wednesday rally in Albany, Homan stood shoulder to shoulder with Republican lawmakers, sending a clear message to Gov. Kathy Hochul: cooperate with the federal crackdown on illegal immigration, or expect an overwhelming ICE presence in the Empire State, as reported by The New York Post.
Homan didn’t mince words. “Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want: more ICE agents in your community,” he warned. If Hochul and her Democrat allies continue to shield illegal immigrants from deportation, Homan vowed to flood the state with federal agents.
“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.”

His statements came as New York Republicans demanded the repeal of the state’s radical Green Light Law, which permits illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.
They are also pushing for the Laken Riley Act, a proposed measure aimed at dismantling sanctuary city policies that prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
While Hochul’s administration continues to coddle illegal immigrants under the guise of progressive policies, Homan took a moment to praise New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Despite being battered by criticism, Adams has shown a willingness to engage in conversations about border security. Homan noted that Adams has made “great commitments” to working with the federal government 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 that he has already met with the mayor twice and is scheduled for another sit-down this week.
Addressing rumors of a backdoor deal, Homan dismissed any notion that Adams was helping the Trump administration in exchange for leniency in his corruption case. “I’ve been talking with him since November, I had nothing to do with that,” Homan clarified.
However, when asked if he would be meeting with Hochul while in Albany, Homan made it clear that the ball is in her court. “She knows my number,” he quipped.
With New York’s sanctuary policies under fire and pressure mounting from federal immigration officials, Hochul and her Democrat allies face a critical decision.
Will they continue to defy federal law at the expense of public safety, or will they finally acknowledge the crisis at the border and start enforcing immigration laws?
One thing is certain: Homan isn’t backing down, and if Hochul refuses to cooperate, she might just find her state swarming with ICE agents sooner rather than later.

PLEASE, Mr. Homan, FLOOD CALIFORNIA WITH ICE AGENTS FIRST!!! We’ve been dealing with ILLEGALS the LONGEST!!!
If you haven’t noticed by now, Homan (and Bondi, and Patel) are totally full of shit. Not only hasn’t he arrested the politicians who interfere with ICE (as promised), he isn’t even conducting mass deportations. Hochul and the rest of the corrupt Democrats have realized that its business as usual. NO arrests–NO prosecutions.
I’m going to have to agree; so far Trump’s picks have been mostly disappointing (again). Now even he is all over the map, trying to put out too many fires at once. If this continues, the likes of Vance succeeding him is looking dim.
STOP!!! . . . or we’ll say Stop! again!
We prayed we gave that President Trump would win and add able men and women that would hold perpetrators accountable of a stolen election, illegals flooding our nation, sexual perversion, and perverts out in the open in our government doing outlandish stuff. Also, you had the current administration using lawfare against his opponent and nobody is doing a damn thing about it.
I don’t understand this you allow these criminals to continue do what they do, and now they are using judges to delay some of President Trump policies, and these wimp republicans sit back skin and grin and get taken to the wood shed by some low life democrats.
I will be amazed if these people will get any thing done. Thank God my trust is in the Lord. Every man and woman, boy and girl be prepared to fight your own battles and not trust these lying politicians.
