'ICE' cold Tom Homan calmly eats apple in face of enraged pro-illegal immigration protesters

Cold as ICE.

Disorderly incidents occurred at the New York state Capitol in Albany on Wednesday when passionate pro-illegal immigration supporters and Democratic legislators tried to confront Border Czar Homan about his strict immigration enforcement efforts.

However, Homan, known for advocating the tough immigration policies of the Trump administration, remained undisturbed. In a video, he was seen calmly walking past the demonstrators, munching on an apple, while being surrounded.

The furious crowd could be heard chanting, “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,” as Homan appeared in the scene. He responded with a subtle smile, continuing to enjoy his snack, while being flanked by Republican lawmakers and state troopers.

“How many more New Yorkers will you detain? How many more New Yorkers without charge?” he shouted. “Do you believe in the First Amendment, Tom Homan?” 

ICE agents arrested Khalil at his university-owned apartment on the city’s Upper West Side on Saturday. Agents told him they were revoking his green card and student visa, according to Khalil’s attorneys. 

Homan was in Albany to urge local and state law enforcement authorities to co-operate with ICE operations. New York state law restricts local and state law enforcement agencies from complying with ICE detainers or holding illegal immigrants solely based on their immigration status.

Another policy, known as the “Green Light Law,” allows illegal immigrants to obtain drivers’ licenses valid in the state of New York.

He vowed that sanctuary policies would not stand in the way of the Trump administration’s deportation plans.

“This is an attack on immigration enforcement, that’s plain what it is,” Homan said.

“You’re not going to stop us, New York state, you’ve got to change the sanctuary status. If you don’t, get out of the way, we’re going to do our job,” he said. “We’ll double the man-force if we have to. Rather than one officer arresting a bad guy, now I have to send a whole team.”
