Federal officials have accused local and state leaders of failing to cooperate in enforcing immigration laws, with the Department of Homeland Security secretary directly criticizing a mayor and governor for not providing support. The remarks highlight growing tensions between federal agencies and some state governments over immigration policy implementation. The statement suggests a breakdown in coordination that could impact enforcement efforts. Details on the specific laws in question and the nature of the alleged lack of support remain unclear.
“We enforce these laws with no help from Mayor [Zohran] Mamdani and Governor[Kathy] Hochul,'' said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to The Post.
