Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, issued a stern warning to Democrats interfering with ICE operations. He declared that anyone obstructing immigration enforcement will face prosecution. His comments follow Democratic lawmakers storming a Newark ICE facility under the guise of “oversight,” drawing sharp condemnation from Homeland Security.
Homan blasted sanctuary city policies and stressed that impeding ICE agents crosses a legal line. “If you cannot support ICE, shame on you,” he stated. He warned that those trespassing federal facilities or harboring illegal aliens will be prosecuted by the attorney general. Homan confirmed he’s pushing for censure or committee removal of involved Democrats.
The border czar directly responded to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s criticism of ICE, labeling her actions unacceptable. He revealed coordination with Trump legal advisor Alina Habba and federal prosecutors in New Jersey. Homan emphasized that such political stunts endanger law enforcement officers and detainees.
This confrontation mirrors ICE clashes in Los Angeles, where union leader Edna Huerta was arrested during protests against immigration raids. ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons slammed LA officials for slow police response, while DHS accused Governor Newsom of glorifying rioters who assaulted officers.
FBI Director Kash Patel bluntly rejected LA Mayor Karen Bass’ criticism of enforcement tactics, tweeting “We will” continue operations. ICE vowed ongoing nationwide enforcement despite sanctuary city opposition. The agency cautioned that local interference only increases community danger.
Homan condemned rising attacks on ICE agents as politically motivated violence. He stressed that rhetoric against immigration officers must stop immediately. The Trump administration remains committed to full immigration law enforcement, with Homan promising zero tolerance for obstruction.
The border czar’s message to anti-ICE Democrats is clear: federal law will be enforced without exception. Those threatening officers or blocking operations will face maximum legal consequences. This administration won’t yield to sanctuary policies or violent protests.
