"I plan on being in New York City in the near future. We are going to do operations in New York City, Homan said. We will be coming to New York City; we are already there now, but we will increase the enforcement presence in New York City again because they are a sanctuary city, and we know that we have an issue there."
"This comes on the heels of last month's ICE raid along Canal Street in Chinatown that saw a slew of vendors arrested along with four American citizens who were cuffed by federal agents as a spontaneous protest erupted over the detainments. Residents have also reported an increased sightings of masked men, presumably ICE agents, dragging people off the street and shoving them into unmarked vehicles."
"New York City's more than three million immigrants are central to our city's strength, vitality, and success. The Mayor-elect remains steadfast in his commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every single New Yorker and upholding our sanctuary laws, Dora Pekec, Mamdani's spokesperson, said."
Tom Homan announced plans to increase ICE enforcement operations in New York City and said he will be there soon. He stated the agency will boost enforcement because New York is a sanctuary city. The Trump administration opposes sanctuary status that limits local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Last month's ICE raid along Canal Street in Chinatown led to numerous vendor arrests and the detention of four U.S. citizens, sparking spontaneous protests. Residents reported sightings of masked individuals allegedly removing people into unmarked vehicles. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's spokesperson said the incoming administration will protect immigrants and uphold sanctuary laws. Outgoing Mayor Eric Adams' office did not respond.
