Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, is increasing his attacks on Gov. Kathy Hochul, threatening, yet again, to surge more U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into New York.on May 29, she has been caught in Homan's cross hairs.
He has been on something of a media tour, launching broadsides against the governor and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on multiple platforms. Homan upped the ante just days before the first World Cup match at MetLife Stadium on Saturday.
He has been especially upset about two provisions of the new laws in New York -- one that bans ICE agents from wearing masks and another that prevents the NYPD and local law enforcement agencies from signing cooperation agreements with ICE, pacts known as a 287G agreements.
"Hochul signed legislation that ended our 287G agreements, where one agent can arrest one bad guy turned over by a jail. Now we've got to send a whole team to look for that guy. So, she took the efficiencies of the jails away and the 287G agreement. So, it's only ... it's math," Homan said.
Between 2 million and 5 million international visitors are expected to come to the U.S. for the World Cup, with many bound for New York. Some of the "Be it the denial of visas for journalists from certain countries or the rejection of a visa for a coach of a team, as well as single-day visas for specific foreign national teams, this is anathema to what this tournament is supposed to be," Mamdani said.
It's still unclear when more ICE agents will be sent to New York, but a spokesperson for Hochul told CBS News New York the governor is looking into whether a surge could happen during the World Cup. Hochul's office also referred to a warning that the Trump administration will pay a political price in November if it surges ICE agents in New York.
"If they come here and go throughout New York State with a surge in ICE, there won't be a Republican standing in this state. This would be weaponized against them," Hochul said on Monday.
