Exclusive | Border czar Tom Homan says he will visit Rochester cops who were blasted by their own city for helping ICE

President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan plans to meet with the cops in Rochester, New York, who were scolded by leaders of the sanctuary city for assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, he told The Post.

Local cops were ripped for responding to the scene of an ICE operation last week and helping to get eight suspected illegal migrants out of a van and into cuffs when they started resisting federal agents.

Homan didn’t say when his planned visit to Rochester would take place.

The former ICE chief’s planned visit follows his recent “private” meeting with the president and lawyer of the local police union, the Rochester Police Locust Club, where he offered “his unwavering support and encouragement to the men and women of the [Rochester Police Department],” the group said Friday.

“I stand with the officers of the Rochester, New York Police Department that answered the emergency assistance call from the U.S Border Patrol,’’ Homan tweeted after the meeting.

“That is the way it should be. Law enforcement officers should not be abandoned in the time of need because of politics.

“Sanctuary policies endanger our police and the public. … Help is coming!” he vowed.

The ICE arrests in Rochester are part of “enhanced targeted operations in parts of New York, to enforce U.S. immigration law,” an agency spokesperson said.

The local officers were called to the scene by federal agents, who asked for emergency police assistance during the traffic stop.

But local leaders were quick to condemn their own cops for stepping in to assist the feds.

“City police officers do not help or participate in federal immigration activities,” said Democratic Mayor Malik Evans.

Police Chief David Smith also slammed his own officers.

“From watching the body-worn camera footage, what is concerning to me is despite the fact that we were called, we went lights and sirens,” said Smith.

“We are not to be handcuffing subjects” in those circumstances, he said. “We are not to be doing pat frisks on subjects, and we are absolutely not going to be detaining them or putting them into our cars.”

Rochester adopted its sanctuary city resolution in 1986 and reaffirmed the order in 2017, while the city’s police department is prohibited from enforcing federal immigration laws under a separate provision, according to local WABC affiliate WHAM.
