Border czar Tom Homan plans to increase ICE agents in sanctuary cities like New York, following a shooting by undocumented individuals.

A string of recent polls shows President Donald Trump's approval rating has remained largely steady over the last week.

The Justice Department says city officials are intentionally obstructing enforcement of federal immigration law.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump administration on Thursday sued New York City over its “sanctuary city” policies, arguing they are obstructing the government from enforcing immigration law and contributed to the recent shooting of an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer.

The speculation follows "border czar" Tom Homan’s promise to “flood the zone” – New York City – with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The threat followed last weekend’s shooting of an off-duty Customs and Border Protection agent at Fort Washington Park in Upper Manhattan.

President Trump has been in office for more than six months, and we are already seeing an impact in the Capital Region.

A diverse group has been showing up at courts to escort immigrants at risk of being detained for deportation by masked officials.
