New York Governor Kathy Hochul is trying to have it both ways on immigration. She claims she wants to work with federal agents to deport criminals. But her sanctuary state policies keep protecting dangerous illegals who should be sent home immediately.
Hochul recently told Congress that New York cooperates with ICE on criminal cases. She even said she would be the first to call ICE when criminals are identified. Yet her state still shields illegals from federal immigration enforcement through sanctuary policies that put Americans at risk.
The facts speak for themselves about Hochul’s failed leadership. Under her watch, illegal immigrants have committed horrific crimes against New Yorkers. A five-year-old was raped on Long Island and an eleven-year-old was molested because criminals were protected by sanctuary policies instead of being deported.
When ICE agents came to New York to arrest criminals, Hochul complained about their methods. She criticized agents for detaining a mother and three children who were in the country illegally. But hardworking Americans are tired of politicians who put illegal immigrants before law-abiding citizens.
The Trump administration is doing exactly what voters demanded. ICE has made over 3,500 arrests nationwide since President Trump returned to office. These enforcement actions are removing dangerous criminals from our communities where they never should have been in the first place.
Even many New Yorkers are fed up with Hochul’s soft approach. A recent poll shows most New Yorkers want their state to support Trump’s efforts to deport migrants. They see the billion-dollar cost of housing asylum seekers while their own needs go unmet.
Hochul tries to sound tough now because she knows her policies are unpopular. She talks about supporting border security while maintaining the very sanctuary policies that undermine it. Americans can see right through this political game.
The choice is clear between strong immigration enforcement and failed sanctuary policies. President Trump is delivering on his promise to secure our borders and remove criminals. Meanwhile, Hochul continues defending policies that have made New York less safe for everyone.
