President Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan is not afraid of sanctuary cities impeding his efforts to remove undocumented people from America. In fact, he appears to welcome the challenge.
Homan appeared on “Fox and Friends” early Wednesday, where he told host Lawrence B. Jones that he may even double down on ICE’s efforts if impediment from left-leaning politicians persists.
“I’ve been around the country doing many operations in the community — whether they see it at the airport, whether they see it at a restaurant or out doing the operation — I can’t tell you how many members the community come up and thank us for being there,” he said. “You know, President Trump made a promise to American people when we got elected that he’s going to make our communities safer, especially from illegal alien violent crime, and it’s exactly what we’re doing and we’re doing it across the nation.”
“As far as the politicians who want to push back and attack the men and women of ICE and myself, I’m not running a popularity contest,” Homan continued. “I’m out there doing what the President promised American people we’re going to do. We’re out there enforcing the law without apology. We’re going to keep coming. You can put all the road blocks you want up, we’re going to keep coming.”
“For these sanctuary cities that want to push back and impede us, we’ll double the man-force there, we’ll double work site enforcement there. We’re not going away,” he further noted. “We’re going to keep coming at them until every criminal, illegal alien gang member, every illegal alien criminal, is eradicated from this country. That’s when I’ll be satisfied.”
In celebration of his “Fox & Friends” appearance, Trump wrote on Truth Social, in all-caps: “America loves Tom Homan!!!”
The former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Wednesday stop echoes similar statements he made with Sean Hannity Tuesday on the network. In that interview, the Border Czar said “the left has lost her mind” after people in Los Angeles allegedly started putting up posters with “personally identifiable information of certain ICE agents,” per Fox.
“It’s under investigation right now. Matter of fact, I have a meeting tomorrow morning with the Department of Justice. I think that’s crossed the line of impediment, and I hope the Department of Justice agrees with me so we find out who’s doing it,” Homan said. “Hopefully we can prosecute them, put them in jail.”
“Look, I know about Doxing, Sean. Gov. Youngkin has assigned a state trooper to my home, 24/7. I have a marked car outside my door right now. I’ve got a security detail. The left has lost her mind. All of a sudden, the ones who enforce the law are the bad guys, the ones who break the law the victims,” he added. “We’re not going to let it slow us down, we’re not going to be bullied, we’re not going to be intimidated. What we’re going to do in these cities? We’ll double the manpower, we’ll flood those neighborhoods with DEA, ATF, FBI and ICE. We’ll double the effort.”
“We’re not going to play a game with these people,” Homan reiterated. “We made it clear we’re concentrating on public safety threats and no one should disagree with taking child sex predators off the streets.”
