New York Governor Kathy Hochul met with President Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Friday, where she expressed opposition to expanding ICE detention facilities in the state.

During the meeting, Hochul warned Homan that she does not want Immigration and Customs Enforcement to expand its presence in New York, according to the governor's office.

Separately on Friday, Republican Representative Mike Lawler and Energy Secretary Chris Wright called on Hochul to reopen the Indian Point nuclear plant in the Hudson Valley. The officials argued that reopening the facility would help address rising energy costs for New York residents.

The Indian Point nuclear plant was permanently shut down in recent years. Lawler and Wright contended that bringing the facility back online could provide relief from what they characterized as surging energy bills across the state.

The meetings highlight ongoing tensions between New York state leadership and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement and energy policy. The discussions come as the new administration implements its border security agenda and evaluates the nation's energy infrastructure needs.
