White House border czar Tom Homan stated that despite ongoing efforts, ICE has already been making notable arrests across the city\u2019s five boroughs. Homan highlighted that a surge of ICE personnel was promised but not yet fully implemented, citing concerns about revealing operational details to protect officers and prevent suspects from fleeing. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier cooperation between federal authorities and New York City under former mayor Eric adams has since ended following the election of Zohran Mamdani, who opposes federal immigration enforcement policies. Mamdani, a socialist, has publicly praised the city\u2019s sanctuary policies, which restrict ICE\u2019s ability to detain undocumented individuals in city jails like Rikers Island. This has hampered federal efforts to apprehend and deport illegal immigrants with criminal records in NYC.  <\/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\">Federal immigration officers have arrested nearly 6,500 illegal immigrants with criminal histories across <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\">New York City<\/a> since President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> took office, according to a senior White House official, who said the crackdown was well underway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House border czar <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-homan\">Tom Homan<\/a> said on Sunday that his promised surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and other federal law enforcement to the city did not mean that ICE was not already making significant arrests across the five boroughs.<\/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\/policy\/immigration\/4655359\/ice-arrests-immigrants-nyc-top-6500-ahead-of-promised-surge-homan\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>ICE arrests of criminals in NYC top 6,500 ahead of promised surge: Homan<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4655307\/sinaloa-cartel-cofounder-ismael-el-mayo-zambada-sentence-life-prison-15-billion-forfeiture\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Sinaloa cartel cofounder Ismael \u2018El Mayo\u2019 Zambada sentenced to life in prison, agrees to $15 billion forfeiture<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4655189\/suspect-in-custody-explosion-federal-plaza-new-york-city\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Suspect in custody after explosion near federal plaza in New York City<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI looked at the data this morning, my chief of staff.
