White House border czar Tom Homan said New York City will see its largest-ever deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation limiting cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration officials.

On Monday, Homan said that New York City will soon experience what he described as the largest deployment of ICE agents in its history, linking the move directly to a recently enacted state law.

"You are going to see more ICE agents than you have ever seen in New York City. And it's coming," Homan said during an appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

He added, "I just reviewed an operational plan. I'm not going to tell you exactly when it's going to happen, but it's coming."

Homan argued that the new law has eliminated what he called the safest and most efficient way for ICE to make arrests.

"We are going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safe arrests in county jails," he said.

Last month, the legislation signed by Hochul prohibited state and local law enforcement from participating in civil immigration enforcement and restricted federal authorities from using state and local facilities for immigration-related operations. It also bans law enforcement officers from wearing masks while performing official duties.

Homan said the restrictions will force ICE to conduct more neighborhood operations rather than making arrests in controlled jail settings.

Last week, the Senate approved a $70 billion bill to boost border security and deportation enforcement, advancing President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. The measure cleared 52–47 and moved to the House, with no Democratic support and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) as the only Republican opponent, citing procedural concerns and funding issues.

In March, Trump had suggested deploying ICE agents to U.S. airports to detain people in the country illegally, framing the idea as part of a broader crackdown on immigration and calling for stronger enforcement at transportation hubs.
