Homan Threatens New York ICE Surge After Hochul Ends 287(g) Jail Agreements

Summary
Tom Homan said ICE will send more agents to New York City after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a late-May law barring local 287(g) agreements, though he gave no timeline for the deployment.
287(g) had let local officers help identify and process removable immigrants in jails; Homan said losing that access means ICE must use more agents in the field instead of making arrests inside facilities.
On SiriusXM, Homan said the New York operation would be "controlled" and targeted, not a repeat of Minnesota-style tactics that drew backlash after two U.S. citizens were killed in separate January incidents.
Hochul rejected Homan's criticism, saying New York will keep working with federal authorities against violent offenders but will not allow ICE to "flood" communities, separate families or spread fear.
