Tom Homan, incoming border czar for President-elect Donald Trump, threatened Chicago and other 'sanctuary cities' with full enforcement of immigration laws. He vowed to prioritize deportations and dismissed concerns about using the National Guard for the purpose.
Tom Homan , set to become President-elect Donald Trump ’s border czar, had a blunt message for Illinois leaders opposed to the administration’s plans for massive deportation efforts. Homan, speaking at a conference in Phoenix over the weekend, promised that Trump and immigration enforcement agencies will hit the ground running when the new administration begins, and that leaders like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will either have to cooperate or face consequences.
“The mayor of Chicago, not a real bright guy, says Tom Homan isn’t welcome in Chicago. Well guess where Tom Homan’s going to be day one? Chicago, Illinois. You don’t want me to be there? Come get me,” he said. Homan described the act of deporting undocumented immigrants as the “number one responsibility” of those concerned about safety, and promised that so-called “Sanctuary City” laws wouldn’t deter the administration.Homan has made multiple comments about specifically targeting Chicago and other areas where law enforcement are prohibited from partnering with ICE and other agencies on immigration enforcement actions.Tom Homan, who served as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump’s first administration, spoke at Turning Point USA’s “AmericaFest” in Phoenix, Arizona, where he criticized Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and sanctuary cities.Where Pritzker continued to draw the line was on sweeping efforts to deport undocumented immigrants, pushing back against the Trump administration’s idea to use National Guard units from other states to assist in those actions.
