WELL, YEAH: White House border czar Tom Homan blames New York Gov. Hochul for promised ICE surge.
White House border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday blamed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for a promised surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to New York City.
But Homan would not say when he expected that surge of ICE agents to happen, when questioned by reporters at the White House.
“You can expect more ICE agents to go to New York because Gov. [Kathy] Hochul signed legislation that ended our … agreements” that allowed the agency to delegate state and local law enforcement officers to perform immigration enforcement functions under ICE oversight, he said.
The agreements under ICE’s 287(g) program were used to identify and process removable immigrants who were in jail after being arrested by local authorities on unrelated charges.
“We’re going to surge resources in New York,” he said. “We have to.”
Don’t like ICE in your cities? Then stop electing pols who flaunt immigration laws.
