Homan threatens to increase ICE agents in New York

Tom Homan, a former Trump administration official, threatened to increase the number of federal immigration agents in New York if Governor Kathy Hochul does not cooperate with immigration enforcement. He criticized sanctuary laws and claimed they hinder public safety. Homan praised Mayor Eric Adams as a partner in immigration efforts and mentioned plans to meet with him. Adams has faced scrutiny over his handling of immigration policies and ongoing legal issues, including a corruption case. In response, Hochul's spokesperson emphasized her commitment to secure borders while opposing harsh immigration practices. Homan also commented on the arrest of activist Mahmoud Khalil, stating that free speech has limits.
