Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, publicly threatened to deploy ICE agents to New York in unprecedented numbers, using the phrase 'flood' New York with agents — this is confirmed by AP, NPR, Fox News, and other outlets. The threat came as New York Governor Hochul moved to restrict ICE operations in the state. Homan also acknowledged that ICE has detained U.S. citizens during immigration sweeps, though he stated they are not deported — a detail the headline omits that adds significant context to the enforcement approach.
