Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s “border czar” nominee, threw down the gauntlet to Democrats who plan to defy Trump’s mass deportation of illegal aliens, underscoring that to do so is a federal crime.
Homan, who previously served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump‘s first term, said left-wing mayors of “sanctuary cities” who resist deportation operations will regret it.
He issued the warning while reacting to Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who said Sunday that her city won’t cooperate with the mass deportations even though Boston has been roiled by criminal illegal aliens wreaking havoc on the streets.
“Well, she’s not very smart, I’ll give her that. Because what I just said is that President Trump is going to prioritize public safety threats,” Homan told Newsmax on Monday.
“What mayor or governor doesn’t want public safety threats out of their communities?”
