Gov. Kathy Hochul appears to have put President Donald Trump in a tricky spot as his border czar Tom Homan promises increased immigration enforcement in New York \u2013 even though the president himself has previously assured the governor he would take no action unless she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Homan publicly gears up to flood the state with additional federal immigration agents, a new law he cited as necessitating the increased presence doesn\u2019t actually take effect for another three months.<\/p>\n

While legislators and Hochul negotiated increased immigration protections earlier this year, Homan promised he would flood New York with additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents should the measures be approved. Now that Hochul has indeed signed into law a slew of measures as part of the state budget, he is doubling down, telling Fox & Friends on Monday he would send \u201cmore ICE agents than you\u2019ve ever seen in New York City.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safe arrests in county jails,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI keep my promises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Except Hochul is counting on Trump to keep his promise, too, and has . repeatedly pointed to the president\u2019s assurance he would not send additional ICE agents to New York unless she asked. (After meeting with Homan in March, she said \u201cthat request will never occur.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Asked whether she trusts the president to keep his word, Hochul told reporters Monday that she would remind Trump of his promise \u2013 but only before pivoting into a veiled threat of the potential consequences of breaking it. \u201cIf they come here and go throughout New York state with a surge in ICE, there won\u2019t be Republicans standing in this state,\u201d Hochul said. \u201cThis will be weaponized against them. That\u2019s not why they would not do it, but they should just look at the political calculation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homan elaborated on Tuesday while speaking to reporters in Washington, D.C., that he was suggesting that the law\u2019s new prohibition of 287(g) agreements between ICE and local law enforcement would warrant more manpower from ICE. Those agreements can range from formalizing information-sharing to using municipal jail space for immigration enforcement purposes to deputizing local police to enforce civil immigration law. \u201cIt\u2019s math. \u2026 Now we\u2019ve got to send more agents to do the job it would have took one person,\u201d Homan said.<\/p>\n

The border czar has refused to say when the operation in New York will begin aside from \u201cit\u2019s coming,\u201d but the section of the law Homan is most concerned about doesn\u2019t take effect immediately. Although localities cannot enter new agreements now that the budget is signed, already signed agreements remain valid for two-and-a-half more months. Per bill language, the particular statute voiding existing 287(g) agreements goes into effect 90 days after Hochul signs the measure, which she did on May 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are common sense measures to make sure that law enforcement will continue to work with federal law enforcement to ferret out criminals, and for anyone to say otherwise is not telling the truth,\u201d Hochul told reporters in Syracuse Tuesday following Homan\u2019s most recent comments. She said she was \u201cproud\u201d to have signed the new immigration protections, but again reiterated that nothing in the law prevents cooperation to apprehend criminals. \u201cWe are very focused on helping communities be safe and local law enforcement should be working with ICE to help remove criminals,\u201d Hochul said. \u201cFull stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
