Kathy Hochul now claims New York will work with ICE on deportations of criminal illegal immigrants despite sanctuary state laws

New York Governor Kathy Hochul now claims that she is willing to work with ICE in order to deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in the state. This comes as it has been revealed that there some 58,000 illegal immigrants living in New York City who have been charged or convicted of crimes. New York City is a "sanctuary city" in the "sanctuary state.

Hochul told reporters that she will be the "first one to call up ICE" in order to deport illegal immigrant criminals in the state. Previously, New York had been unwilling to work with ICE. Trump's new border czar Tom Homan has said he would undertake mass deportations with or without cooperation from local elected leaders and officals.

Hochul said that the US immigration system is "woefully broken" but blamed Republicans in Congress for failing to pass a border security bil. The bill she referenced, broached in June, would have allowed at least 1.4 million people to cross the border illegally per year.
