Flooding Sanctuary Grounds: ICE’s New York Crackdown

Tom Homan and Kristi Noem turn up federal enforcement in sanctuary cities after a shooting — unleashing political tension and public unease

Hey Small Biters,

Federal roles crept into the spotlight this week as the Trump administration publicly blamed sanctuary policies for an off-duty Customs officer’s shooting in a Manhattan park. Immigration czar and human gremlin Tom Homan and Homeland Security ICE Barbie Secretary Kristi Noem accused New York City's leadership of enabling criminals, framing sanctuary rules as a direct threat to public safety.

Homan pledged to “flood the zone” with ICE agents—not just in federal facilities, but across communities and workplaces. His declaration signals a clear escalation of enforcement in Democrat-led cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, and Los Angeles.
