Is Ice stepping up raids in NYC?
Asked 1 hour ago
Answer
ICE is increasing enforcement operations in New York City, citing sanctuary laws as a driving factor. Recent raids, such as the one on Canal Street, resulted in multiple arrests. Tom Homan, the Trump administration's Border Czar, confirms plans for further operations and warns that if local leaders impede ICE, federal teams will increase activity. City officials, however, reaffirm their commitment to protecting immigrant rights and upholding sanctuary laws.
