"[Noem] has forfeited her right to lead," Hochul said, further suggesting Bovino is acting as if he is "above the law."
Later Monday, she also said that President Donald Trump’s dispatch of Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota won’t undo "harm" done by his administration.
In a lighter message, Hochul quipped that as a "governor from Buffalo," she knows how to handle a snowstorm.
The eyes of the nation often see the kind of hefty snowfall that accumulates in the western New York area during televised Buffalo Bills games in the NFL playoffs.

"Push it out of the way — no strain on the back doing that… don’t lift much; smaller bits, OK — don’t do a big pile and fill this up because that can lead to a heart attack," Hochul said in the clip.
Fox News Digital reached out to Hochul for comment on the criticisms, and to DHS for comment on the situation.
