Political leaders in New York have stepped up their calls to deport illegal immigrants who break the law after a shocking video emerged showing a group of individuals believed to be illegal immigrants kicking and punching two police officers near Times Square.

After first saying on Jan. 31 that deporting illegal immigrants who beat the New York Police Department officers “should be looked at,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Feb. 1 ramped up her deportation rhetoric.
