New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has developed quite a reputation for putting her sanctuary-madness policies ahead of New Yorkers’ safety.

In the summer of 2025, the Department of Homeland Security blasted Hochul (D) for secretly pardoning last month a 52-year-old Laotian refugee from the Vietnam War era to help him evade deportation for the Christmas Eve 1988 deadly shooting of a man in a pool hall fight in Brooklyn.

The agency wrote on X at the time, “@GovKathyHochul, your shameful secret is out. Rather than putting New Yorkers first, you’re protecting a criminal, illegal alien KILLER with a rap sheet including convictions for manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm. If you are a convicted criminal alien, you should not have the privilege to be in this country. President Trump and @Sec_Noem will continue fighting to protect every American citizen and remove the worst of the worst from our nation.”

In June 2025, during an explosive House Oversight Committee hearing with Sanctuary State Governors, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene eviscerated  Hochul’s sanctuary state policies and demanded that she face justice for the murder of Laken Riley.

Greene forced Hochul to face the horrors of New York’s sanctuary policies and Biden’s open border by sharing the tragic results of her policies, including a 13-year-old girl who was tied up and raped in a New York park in broad daylight by an Ecuadorian illegal.

She was also confronted by the story of police officers who were attacked after trying to stop a group of illegal youth gang members who were living at the lawless Sanctuary City of Manhattan’s Row Hotel on the taxpayers’ dime.

Greene showed Hochul the horrific photo of the woman who was set on fire inside a New York City subway car by a Guatemalan illegal alien just days before Christmas last year.

She then turned to Hochul’s most heinous crime: Laken Riley, a talented young nursing student at the University of Georgia. Riley was brutally murdered while jogging on campus by Jose Antonio Ibarra, a criminal illegal alien that New York arrested and released “quickly before ICE could even issue a detainer,” Greene noted. “He flew from the state of New York to my home state in Georgia, and you all paid for it.”

Border Czar Tom Homan appeared on Fox News and doubled down on the criticism of Hochul.

“There’s no other reason you’d want significant public safety threats to walk the street in New York.”

“I looked at a list just this morning, Brian, and I looked at lists of top 20.”

“Here’s the charges: homicide, sexual assault, sexual assault, sexual assault, rape, sexual assault, rape, rape, rape, sexual assault, homicide, rape, homicide, sexual assault, homicide, rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, sexual assault, rape, homicide, homicide. I can go on and on and on.”

“The top 20 we arrested off the streets in New York because her administration refused to work with us and honor our detainers.”

“She is making New York less safe.”

“President Trump has done more to protect the citizens of New York than she has.”

Watch:

Tom Homan just ripped into Kathy Hochul and New York’s sanctuary madness.

Criminals with long records of homicide, rape and sexual assault are being shielded from ICE.

Hochul refuses to honor detainers so agents have to chase them down on the streets.
