About this episode

Tom Homan discusses plans to increase ICE presence in New York in response to local policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Tom Homan vowed to "flood the zone" in New York with ICE agents as a direct response to state efforts to limit local cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Speaking at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, the White House border czar warned that uncooperative sanctuary jurisdictions will face a surge of federal personnel, leading to more arrests in residential neighborhoods and workplaces. Strategy: If local jails do not hand over targets, Homan stated he will send teams of six or seven agents to arrest them on the streets or at home.
