New York to Restrict ICE Despite Threat From Trump’s Border Czar
- On Tuesday, Border Czar Tom Homan threatened to "flood" New York with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents if the State Legislature approves legislation banning local cooperation with ICE.
- Governor Kathy Hochul and lawmakers are finalizing a $263 billion budget package that would ban 287 agreements, which cross-deputize local officers for federal immigration duties.
- Homan claimed that limiting collaboration increases "collateral arrests" of individuals near priority targets, arguing that sending "a whole huge ops team" to communities is necessary to apprehend public safety threats.
- Governor Hochul dismissed the threat Tuesday, citing a prior conversation where President Donald Trump promised not to surge federal agents into New York unless she requests assistance.
- Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman vowed to challenge the proposed legislation in court, maintaining his county's 287 agreement is a "good partnership" that effectively rounds up wanted criminals.
