In a stark warning, former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan has sounded the alarm that a surge in ICE operations is imminent in New York City. Homan's warning comes as the city continues to tout its status as a sanctuary jurisdiction, a designation that has been a point of contention between law enforcement officials and local leaders. City Comptroller Brad Lander's recent boast about New York City's sanctuary status, which has been in place since 2014, has been met with skepticism by some, who argue that it hinders the ability of federal agencies to enforce immigration laws. As the debate over sanctuary cities continues to simmer, Homan's warning suggests that New York City may soon be facing a major test of its policies.
