The passage claims that, despite the Supremacy Clause, some politicians and states have tried to limit how federal immigration enforcement works, especially after Texas began enforcing immigration rules at the border under President Joe Biden\u2019s administration. It argues that these efforts create a \u201cvacuum\u201d that state law would fill,and it credits White House border czar Tom Homan wiht pushing back.<\/p>\n

Specifically, it says New York Gov. Kathy Hochul threatened to prevent local police from cooperating with federal officials, and that Hochul also rejected the idea of requesting additional ICE agents. The text reports that Homan responded by saying he was \u201cnot asking either\u201d and that ICE would increase operations in New York.<\/p>\n

It further claims hochul\u2019s proposed legislation would restrict where arrests and detentions can occur and could make enforcement harder<\/a>, and says Homan argued that these constraints would force ICE to deploy more personnel-potentially detaining people<\/a> and transporting them to facilities in Texas or Arizona away from thier families and attorneys-while including a warning that enforcement efforts would continue despite state \u201croadblocks.\u201d <\/p>\n
