Federal Border Czar Tom Homan has announced that an unprecedented surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents is coming to New York City in response to the city’s sanctuary policies.
Homan told Fox News on Sunday, “It’s coming,” citing the Trump administration’s refusal to be hampered by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s vow to champion the city’s sanctuary status and to continue resisting federal immigration enforcement.
Homan told Fox News that “there needs to be a surge” and added, “But I am not going to show our hand because there are… well-funded groups who will try to impede, interfere. We’re not going to give them any upside on this.”
The border czar’s comments followed statements Mamdani made during a New York Times interview on Saturday, in which the mayor expressed “pride” regarding the city’s refusal to cooperate with immigration enforcement and vowed to protect immigrant communities.
Mamdani told the Times, “What we are unwilling to do is to participate in civil immigration enforcement with a federal government that has said openly it wants to deport a vast majority of people for crimes that we will never even know.”
According to Fox News, Homan fired back at Mamdani’s statement, saying that the mayor can have his stance but he will not prevent ICE from doing its job, noting, “That’s called the rule of law. If he doesn’t like it, call your members of Congress, tell them to change the law.”
The federal surge is also tied to New York state budget legislation signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul that strictly curbs local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration officials and bans ICE agents from wearing masks during community operations.
Homan has also argued that blocking ICE access to municipal jails removes operational efficiencies, forcing federal teams out onto the streets to conduct widespread community arrests.
The border czar said that President Trump’s campaign promises to address border security and to impose mass deportations are a large reason why he is the president today.
Homan refused to discuss specifics as to where and when enforcement actions would occur so as to avoid tipping off the various leftist groups who have organized to oppose ICE actions.

I am certain that there are leftist groups organizing to interfere in NYC and surrounding areas.
Hochul and Mamdani both believe they are above federal law. They are not.
As far as ICE agents and masks:
“Federal judges have blocked mask bans for ICE agents in Virginia, Philadelphia, and California, ruling that such state and local laws violate the Supremacy Clause by improperly regulating federal law enforcement operations.
In New York and Milwaukee, the Department of Justice has sued or issued directives refusing to comply with similar bans, arguing they endanger federal officers and constitute unconstitutional interference with federal duties.”
New York needs to get a ruling on that quickly - and get those body cameras out as well. Homan says they got the $$ for the cameras for ICE agents after reconciliation in the budget - but the cameras are just now being rolled out now.
You can bet that they are already organized and their war materiel staged.
Why would they give NYC any warning? Just do it.
Homan is another talker. He’s been threatening surges and arrests of local political figures since before Trump was sworn in with none of it actually occurring. Another who excels at the sound bite.
“...deport a vast majority of people for crimes that we will never even know.”
You mean like illegal entry to the country? Even if they commit no other crimes, that is a crime. The main one that requires deportation.
They’re coming for YOU ,Mamdani ,LOL
I am so fed up with czars, executive orders, and administrative law. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a representative Republic?
I would send National Guard troops with them - along with their own documentary film crew to preempt the inevitable attempts the left and NYC radical Islamic and Communist mayor will make to characterize this is as a human rights violation and military action on citizens.
What world is this we’re living in?
Great!
Start with Mamdani.
Don’t announce it, just do it!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t give them advance notice. Swarm that pig rat infested dump with a few thousand agents after having done competent surveillance. Hit and run before China’s and messyco’s assets can rally for protest.
Tuco’s Law
Hope they arrive soon, I’m tired of supporting illegal deadbeats.
Meanwhile there are many Republicans who have signd on to a bill in Congress that will grant amnesty to illegal alien farm workers. “Big Ag” wants its cheap labor!
How about cleaning out all the red states until after the midterms.
There is one going on in Georgia right now.
WHY THE F WOULD THEY BE WARNED???????
I’m not convinced your protest comes from careful thinking.
