US President Donald Trump’s top immigration adviser Tom Homan on Friday issued a sharp warning to Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, after Mamdani pledged to stop city cooperation with ICE deportation operations.
“Game on. We’re coming,” said Homan, who serves as Trump’s border czar and senior immigration advisor, during an interview with Fox Business. “He wants to block ICE? We’ll see how that works out for him.”
Homan added that Trump’s team plans to intensify federal action against sanctuary cities. Trump has given wide-ranging powers to his border czar and last month said he would support him if he arrested California Governor Gavin Newsom over protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.
Mamdani is facing flak from the MAGA camp, with Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene posting an image of Statue Of Liberty draped in a burqa.
