He said an ICE surge is coming, promising more agents than New Yorkers have previously seen, and attributed the crackdown partly to New York officials reducing the ability for \u201csafe arrests\u201d via county jails.<\/p>\n<p>The article says the administration is keeping operational details limited, with reporting suggesting Customs and Border Protection may not participate as it has in prior federal operations.it also contrasts the scale of previous ICE\/C\u0412P deployments in other states-dispatching thousands of agents-with expectations of less public backlash if CBP is excluded.<\/p>\n<p>homan previously indicated the increase would follow pushback from Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, both of whom oppose ICE taking custody of detained people after local arrests. The piece notes large numbers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-vows-to-invoke-1798-law-to-handle-illegals-as-part-of-largest-deportation-operation-in-us-history\/\" title=\"... to Use 1798 Law for &#039;Biggest Deportation Ever&#039;\">undocumented immigrants living<\/a> in NYC and relatively modest arrest totals nationally under the Trump administration, arguing that sanctuary policies limit ICE\u2019s ability to act.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani rejects ICE engagement, calling raids cruel and opposing targeted enforcement in communities, and has said he believes ICE should be abolished. The article adds that Hochul and Homan discussed cooperation in March, and that Homan blamed legislation reducing local cooperation-claiming Hochul still signed it-while stating it would lead to sending larger enforcement teams into neighborhoods to locate individuals ICE wants to arrest.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just hours before President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> was set to arrive in his hometown of New York City for the National Basketball Association finals, White House border czar <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-homan\">Tom Homan<\/a> issued a pointed warning aimed at illegal immigrants across the five boroughs: immigration enforcement is coming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >chief immigration official stated<\/a> on Monday that the forthcoming <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ICE\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> surge will focus on the city\u2019s five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island \u2014 as opposed to upstate New York or Long Island\u2019s Nassau or Suffolk counties.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4599386\/epstein-reading-room-trump-doj-documents\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Epstein reading room prominently features Trump connection among 3.5 million DOJ documents<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4599296\/sam-bankman-fried-officially-applies-pardon\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Sam Bankman-Fried applies for pardon<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4599169\/pope-leo-catholic-church-sexual-abuse-scandal-paths-healing\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Pope Leo says \u2018scourge\u2019 of Catholic Church sexual abuse scandals calls for \u2018real paths to healing\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI made [Gov.

We\u2019re going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safe arrests in county jails.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plans are being kept close to the chest, according to four current and former senior administration officials who spoke with the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> on Monday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One change may be the exclusion of the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s agency, Customs and Border Protection, from the NYC operation. Two officials said CBP had no plans to deploy Border Patrol, Air and Marine Operations, or Office of Field Operations personnel to assist ICE, which would be a break from how both agencies worked side by side during the bicoastal crusade the DHS waged under former Secretary Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, during the Minnesota deployment of ICE and CBP, approximately 3,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-sprint-to-find-a-new-border-patrol-leader\/\" title=\"The sprint to find a new Border Patrol leader\">000 federal law enforcement agents<\/a> and officers were dispatched across the state through December 2025 and January 2026. Not including CBP personnel, and notably without assistance from former Border Patrol regional chief Gregory Bovino, the operation is likely to draw less public blowback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homan first <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/4555697\/mass-deportations-coming-tom-homan-ice-surge-sanctuary-cities\/\">disclosed<\/a> five weeks ago that ICE would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-signs-make-our-nations-capital-safe-executive-order-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... signs \u2018Make Our Nation\u2019s Capital Safe\u2019 executive order ... Washington Examiner\">surge law enforcement<\/a> to New York in the near future in response to Gov. Kathy Hochul and the city\u2019s Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s refusal to let ICE take custody of illegal immigrants in county jails.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homan said he \u201cjust reviewed an operational plan\u201d to send in more ICE personnel, an indication that the plan was not just in theory but close to being put into action. When Homan sat down with the <em>Washington Examiner <\/em>in late May, he <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4576866\/washington-examiner-full-interview-border-czar-tom-homan\/\">said<\/a> he was still \u201cworking on a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 450,000 illegal immigrants were believed to reside in the city as of 2023, according to an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/cmsny.org\/publications\/data-briefing-on-new-york-city-immigrants\/\">analysis<\/a> of census data by the Center for Migration Studies of New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ICE arrests nationwide sat at just over <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/4531856\/ice-arrests-under-trump-near-457000\/\">450,000<\/a> as of April. The state has had the fourth-most arrests of illegal immigrants since Trump took office in January 2025 through early March. However, arrests barely topped <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4524500\/where-ice-made-most-arrests-under-trump\/\">10,000<\/a> \u2014\u00a0a drop in the bucket of the illegal immigrant population in New York, much less New York City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanctuary jurisdictions such as New York will not allow local or state police to work with ICE by turning over illegal immigrants encountered in traffic stops or arrested on criminal charges. They also generally will not hold detainees after they post bail or bond so ICE can come to the jail and take custody of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former New York Police Department official, the city had agreed to let ICE access illegal immigrants detained at the city jail, known as Rikers Island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mamdani has shown no willingness to reach an agreement with Homan or the White House. The Uganda-born first-term mayor said on Monday that he opposed ICE\u2019s enforcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-dhs-chief-far-left-biden-immigration-bill-signals-to-traffickers-its-okay-to-come-extreme-incentive-for-future-illegal-immigration\/\" title=\"Ex...DHS Chief: \u2018Far...Left\u2019 Biden Immigration Bill Signals To Traffickers \u2018It\u2019s Okay To Come,\u2019 \u2018Extreme Incentive\u2019 For Future Illegal Immigration\">federal immigration laws<\/a> by going into communities to arrest specific individuals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve heard time and again threats in immigration enforcement across our city,\u201d Mamdani said at a World Cup preview event. \u201cI want to be very clear about the fact that I believe that ICE raids are cruel, they are inhumane, they do nothing to serve in the interest of public safety. I\u2019ve shared that directly with the president, I\u2019ve shared that in public. It is a feeling that many New Yorkers share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the weekend, Mamdani went further and said \u201cICE should be abolished\u201d because \u201cthere is no way to reform this kind of cruelty that we\u2019re seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hochul and Homan met in March to discuss federal and state cooperation on immigration enforcement in the aftermath of the Minnesota operation and as New York looked at passing a state budget and legislative bill that would further chill police cooperation with ICE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/sports\/4587736\/how-dhs-is-securing-the-fifa-world-cup\/\">HOW DHS IS SECURING THE FIFA WORLD CUP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI said, \u2018But if you sign the legislation that I think you\u2019re getting about ready to sign, that means I\u2019m going to send more agents to New York because now rather than one guy, arresting one bad guy in the jail, now we got [sic] to send a whole team into a neighborhood to find this person that don\u2019t want to be found,&#8217;\u201d Homan said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI told her it\u2019s safer for the community, it\u2019s safer for the officers, it\u2019s safer for the aliens to have this cooperation with the jails,\u201d he said. \u201cShe signed the legislation anyways.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hours before Trump\u2019s NYC NBA visit, Tom Homan warned: ICE enforcement is coming<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2655,"featured_media":2612262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-collage-bsehsizj7-1780945981542-e1780956034509.jpg?1780941643&amp;w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[8364,3813,36462],"class_list":["post-2612261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-ice","tag-immigration","tag-new-york-city"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-collage-bsehsizj7-1780945981542-e1780956034509.jpg?1780941643&amp;w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2655"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2612261"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2612265,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612261\/revisions\/2612265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2612262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2612261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2612261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2612261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
