NYC, NY politics live updates: Border czar Tom Homan spotted in Albany ahead of secret Gov. Kathy Hochul meeting, sources say
NY Post
Keep up with the latest in New York City politics and what’s happening in Albany on Thursday as Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has been spotted at the state capitol complex ahead of a secret meeting with Gov. Kathy Hochul, sources tell The Post.
Their face-to-face, set for Friday, comes not only amid Hochul’s railing against the Trump immigration agenda as she and state legislators work on a package of measures meant to restrict ICE — but also on the heels of the president firing Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem earlier Thursday.
And in the city, a bloc of lefty councilmembers is urging Hochul to bump up taxes on households making $500,000 or more — a recent rallying of the city’s Democratic Socialists of America, The Post has confirmed.
