Border czar Tom Homan revealed Tuesday that federal immigration enforcement will increase in New York City, expanding on ongoing operations in the sanctuary city.

Homan, who emphasizes his agency is focusing on the worst of the worst, made the announcement one month after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/protesters-confront-ice-agents-during-new-york-chinatown-operation-5933090">conducted</a> a sweep on street vendors in Manhattan, which turned into chaos after agents were swarmed by protestors.

“I plan on being in New York City in the near future,” Homan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bofR1Lqm2HQ">said</a> on Fox News “America’s Newsroom” on Nov. 18. “We’re going to do operations in New York City.

“We will increase the enforcement presence in New York City, again, because they’re a sanctuary city and we know we have an issue there with public safety threats hitting the street every day.”

President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-plans-to-meet-with-nyc-mayor-elect-mamdani-to-work-something-out-5945758?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=epochtimes">said</a> Monday he was open to meeting with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to discuss possible collaborations.

“Regardless of Republican or Democratic city, we are going to enforce the laws across this country and take those public safety threats off the street,” Homan said. “Sanctuary cities, we’re flooding the zone, because we know they are releasing public safety threats into communities every day.”

A sanctuary city is <a href="https://www.justice.gov/ag/us-sanctuary-jurisdiction-list-following-executive-order-14287-protecting-american-communities" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">defined</a> by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a jurisdiction that has policies that materially impede enforcement of federal immigration statutes and regulations.

Homan, who in June <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-to-resume-operations-at-farms-hotels-but-will-focus-on-criminals-homan-5875627">mentioned</a> New York City as a target for resumed enforcement on criminals, did not say when the escalation would begin. DHS would oversee any operations.

Local leaders oppose the surge, and Mamdani said his city is committed to upholding its sanctuary policies.

“New York City’s more than three million immigrants are central to our city’s strength, vitality, and success,” Dora Pekec, spokesperson for Mamdani, said in a statement to media outlets on Nov. 18. “The mayor-elect remains steadfast in his commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every single New Yorker and upholding our sanctuary laws.”

Jess D'Amelia, spokesperson for Gov. Kathy Hochul, said the state has been working with law enforcement to uphold laws and keep residents safe.

“As Governor Hochul has made clear, federal intervention is not wanted or needed,” D'Amelia said.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/new-york-mayor-signals-hes-willing-to-change-sanctuary-city-laws-5758656">said</a> last year he was open to changing New York City’s sanctuary city laws, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/nyc-mayor-meets-with-incoming-border-chief-homan-over-shared-enforcement-goals-5775531">met</a> with Homan in December 2024 to discuss mutual objectives, such as deporting repeat offenders. Adams stated at a press conference that neither party seeks to target law-abiding immigrants who contribute positively to the city.

In April, Adams <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/nyc-mayor-adams-allows-federal-agencies-to-operate-on-rikers-island-5839592">issued</a> an executive order allowing federal agencies like ICE to base operations at Rikers Island, home to New York City's largest jail. The city council <a href="https://council.nyc.gov/press/2025/04/15/2836/">sued</a> Adams to stop that from happening.

Homan’s announcement of increased operations in New York City comes as ICE conducts expanded operations in Charlottesville, North Carolina. The operation, dubbed “Charlotte’s Web,” <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/north-carolina-governor-says-charlotte-immigration-operations-are-stoking-fear-5945825">resulted</a> in the arrest of 130 illegal immigrants, many of whom had significant criminal and immigration histories, according to Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino.
