Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday stepped up her call for the migrants caught on camera ganging up on two NYPD officers near Times Square to get booted from the US — as cops continued to search for at least one suspect.
“Get them all and send them back,” Hochul told reporters during an unrelated press conference announcing the rollout of new open-gangway subway cars.
“You don’t touch our police officers. You don’t touch anyone,” she said.
The remarks upped the Democratic governor’s comments on Wednesday that deporting the migrants arrested in the shocking mob beatdown oF New York’s Finest is something that should be “looked at.”
Police late Wednesday arrested two more asylum seekers — Jandry Barros, 21, and Yohenry Brito, 24 — and charged them with robbery and felony assault over the Saturday night attack. They were awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Five other migrants were previously arrested — Darwin Andres Gomez-Izqhiel, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, Jhoan Boada, 22, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — and then released without bail on charges of second-degree assault on police officers and obstructing government administration.
