NYC Democrats protest Trump’s immigration policies in Albany

Tom Homan, a former Trump administration official, faced protests from New York City Democrats during his visit to Albany. He supported GOP bills aimed at repealing pro-immigrant policies and increasing cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Demonstrators criticized Homan over the recent arrest of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who is facing deportation. Homan defended the arrest, claiming Khalil posed a national security threat, while protesters accused the administration of lacking clear charges against him. Homan's visit highlighted a contrast between his reception in Albany and the cooperation he has received from Mayor Eric Adams in New York City. Adams has previously allowed federal immigration agents to operate in the city and is reportedly nearing another cooperation agreement with Homan.
