Tom Homan to NYC: ICE Raids Are Coming Whether You Cooperate or Not
President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan issued a stark warning to New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani about not cooperating with federal officials when it comes to deporting illegal aliens.
Following Mamdani’s promise to not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Homan said:
“Good luck on that.”
“Because we’re going to be in New York City. And President Trump said . . . we’re going to double down and triple down on sanctuary cities.”
“Why? Not because they’re blue cities or blue states. [But] because we know that’s where the problem is. We know they’re releasing public safety threats and national security threats to the streets every day because they don’t honor our detainers.”
“We don’t have that problem like, in Florida, where every sheriff in the state is working with us,” Homan continued.
“So where are we going to send our assets? We’re going to send them where the problem is: Sanctuary Cities. I’ve said it before. We’ll flood the zone of sanctuary cities.”
Homan also said that if local officials obstruct federal agents, they’ll just ramp up community raids and worksite operations.
“If they don’t let us arrest the bad guy in the county jail, they’re going to arrest them in the community,” Homan concluded.
“We’re going to arrest them at a worksite. So we’re going to increase community operations.”
“We’re going to increase worksite enforcement operations. We’re going to get the bad guys, so if they don’t want to help, get out of the way. We’re coming to do it.”
Watch:
If Mamdani were to direct local officials to defy the Trump administration, it could ultimately lead to a much larger federal force in these cities causing further escalation.
That prospective leaders like Mamdani show preference for illegals over United States citizens should tell you everything you need to know.
President Donald Trump also warned he would use his powers to check Mamdani if he were to win the election in November, saying:
“We don’t need a communist in this country.”
“But if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation,” he added.
The President also warned that if the far-left candidate were to win and tried to ignore ICE, “then we’ll have to arrest him.”
