Border czar Tom Homan is vowing to send more federal immigration agents to New York City, claiming the deployment surge is necessary in the wake of recent immigrant-friendly legislation signed by Governor Kathy Hochul.

Homan first levied the threat during a Monday interview on Fox & Friends, where he told the panel there were imminent plans to scale up operations and promised it would be the largest presence of ICE personnel seen so far in the city.
