Border czar Tom Homan offered a four-word response to New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s vow to undermine ICE's operations: "Good luck on that."
"We’re going to be in New York City, and President Trump said it two weeks ago. We’re going to double down, triple down on sanctuary cities. Why? Not because they’re a blue city or a blue state, but because we know that’s where the problem is," Homan said.
Homan’s comments came in response to a Washington Free Beacon question asking if he had a plan to handle Mamdani, New York City’s Democratic nominee for mayor, and his June 25 promise to use his power to "stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors."
"Zohran Mamdani, the likely next mayor of New York City, has promised not to cooperate with you or ICE or with deportations of any kind. Do you have a plan to work around that? How are you going to handle that?" the Free Beacon's Jon Levine asked on Monday.
