........As Homan alluded to on Fox, the legislation in question would limit to extent to which New York police departments can cooperate with federal immigration authorities and direct where civil deportation warrants can and cannot be executed.

Hochul has also pushed for an agreement with state lawmakers on blocking ICE agents from covering their faces and empowering citizens to sue the agency if they believe their constitutional rights have been violated.


The governor’s moves are part of an effort to try to prevent a repeat of the chaos seen in Minnesota in January, when the adverse reaction to Operation Metro Surge sparked widespread unrest and saw two demonstrators shot dead.

Democratic state senator Pat Fahy told Politico Wednesday that the border czar’s threats were only making lawmakers more resolved to pass the bills in question. “If anything, it makes me want to double down,” he said.

“We have to show that when you have people who are out on the streets like a reign of terror, armed masked agents wreaking havoc, we have to show it will not be tolerated.”
