Trump's border czar plans to double ICE agents in NY

syracuse.com

Tom Homan, the White House border czar, announced plans to double the number of immigration agents in New York if Governor Kathy Hochul does not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. He criticized the state's sanctuary status and proposed changes to local laws. Homan spoke in Albany, urging support for repealing the Green Light Law, which allows undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, and for “Laken’s Law,” which would require courts to notify ICE of non-citizen arrests. Hochul's spokesperson reiterated her support for secure borders but opposed federal policies that separate families. The governor was attending a funeral during Homan's remarks.
