Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, isn’t backing down from his mission to crack down on sanctuary cities. He’s calling out leaders in places like New York and Boston for protecting illegal immigrants who commit crimes. Homan says these cities are making things worse by refusing to help ICE do its job. If local leaders keep blocking federal agents, he warns they’ll see more ICE officers on their streets—not fewer.
In New York, state laws stop police from working with ICE to deport criminal illegals. Homan blasted Governor Kathy Hochul for talking tough on crime while supporting policies that let dangerous people stay. He says releasing criminals back into neighborhoods is “just stupid” and puts everyone at risk. New York Republicans agree, saying Trump and Homan are the only ones serious about safety.
Boston is another target. Homan ripped the city’s police commissioner for “doubling down” on sanctuary rules. He promised to “bring hell” to Boston, vowing ICE will hunt down criminals released by local authorities. Mayor Michelle Wu fired back, boasting about Boston’s crime stats and calling Homan “clueless.” But Homan isn’t buying it. He points to ICE operations that recently arrested 370 people in Boston—many with criminal records—as proof sanctuary policies backfire.
The Trump administration’s plan is simple: go after the worst offenders first. But Homan admits collaterals—non-criminal illegals—will get swept up too. Sanctuary cities force ICE to conduct risky street operations instead of safe jail transfers. That means more arrests overall. Homan says if cities won’t cooperate, ICE has no choice but to flood communities with agents. He’s ready to double manpower if needed.
Liberal leaders claim their policies keep communities safe. They argue trusting local police matters more than federal raids. But Homan calls this a lie. He says protecting criminal aliens puts politics over public safety. While Democrats play games, ICE is getting results. Every deported predator makes America safer. Homan’s message is clear: no sanctuary city can stop Trump’s team from enforcing the law.
