Trump to attack Hochul over sanctuary policy at Syracuse rally amid recent immigrant crimes
Donald Trump will criticize Governor Kathy Hochul’s sanctuary stance at a Syracuse rally, citing a recent stabbing of an off-duty NYPD detective and an ICE shooting in the Bronx.
At a Syracuse gathering with GOP candidate Bruce Blakeman, Donald Trump is set to denounce Governor Kathy Hochul’s sanctuary approach, pointing to a recent stabbing of an off-duty NYPD detective by two Dominican nationals and an ICE raid that injured a suspected Trinitarios gang member in the Bronx. The suspects, D’Angelo Caraballo and Sneider Mejia Bautista, were arrested in Massachusetts after a failed robbery. ICE’s Oscar Belgal was shot while a five-year-old child sat in his vehicle.
Hochul has called for the release of body-camera footage and asked for a pause on ICE activities in New York. The event also aims to boost Republican House candidate Kailee Buller, while Trump’s campaign highlights other alleged crimes by illegal immigrants in Syracuse.
Why it matters
The rally spotlights the clash over sanctuary policies and immigration enforcement in a key swing region.
