Trump Plans ICE Surge in New York City as Hochul Curbs Agents With New Bill

Summary
Tom Homan said the Trump administration has drawn up plans to send more ICE personnel into New York City, signaling a new escalation in the president’s migrant crackdown.
Homan said he warned Governor Kathy Hochul before she signed a bill late last month that curbs ICE operations in New York and bans agents from wearing masks.
The planned surge sets up a sharper clash between the White House and Hochul over how far federal immigration enforcement can operate inside the state.
New York now stands to become a key test of Trump’s broader push to intensify immigration enforcement in Democratic-led jurisdictions.
