Mon Jun 9 on Fox & Friends, Trump border czar Tom Homan said he has reviewed an operational plan to send "more ICE agents than ever before" to NYC, framing it as direct retaliation for Hochul's newly signed 287(g) ban barring state/local cooperation. At a joint presser, Mamdani called the threat "cruel and inhumane," repeated his "abolish ICE" line, and pledged to "fight any of these threats tooth and nail." Homan separately blamed Hochul, not Mamdani, for the surge.
