Border czar Tom Homan met with Republican lawmakers in Albany on Wednesday to talk about the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.

At the Capitol, Homan talked about securing New York’s northern border. He also spoke about two laws related to immigration: Laken’s Law, which requires agents to detain and deport illegal aliens who commit certain crimes; and New York’s Green Light Law, which allows noncitizens to get driver’s license.

He also slammed sanctuary cities, which limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Albany is a sanctuary city.

Trump’s policy targets the worst criminals first, said Homan, but they are going after everyone who is in the United States illegally.

“I want to be clear. If you’re in this country illegally, you’re not off the table. I mean that’s clear from day one. It’s not OK to be in this country illegally. It’s a violation of the law,” he said. “New York state, you’ve got to change the sanctuary status. If you don’t, get out of the way, or we’re going to do our job.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office released this statement:

“Governor Hochul has been clear with New Yorkers: she supports secure borders and deporting violent criminals, but won’t let New York help the Trump Administration tear babies away from their parents. This isn’t the first time Trump administration officials have lied about our policies – and it probably won’t be the last – but Governor Hochul is staying focused on keeping New Yorkers safe.”
