‘Game on’: Trump border czar fires back after House Dem promises ‘resistance’ to deportations
Incoming border czar Tom Homan is not shying away from his plans to lead President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation in Chicago, despite facing opposition from Democratic congresswoman Delia Ramirez. In response to her warning to “be ready to meet the resistance,” Homan cited specific laws prohibiting impeding federal law enforcement officers and the harboring of illegal immigrants, signaling that he is prepared for any challenges that may come his way.
During a recent speech in Chicago, Homan urged Illinois Democrats to either collaborate with the administration or step aside. Ramirez, a progressive representative, quickly fired back, vowing to obstruct Homan’s efforts and stand in the way of mass deportations in the city.
This exchange is just one example of the growing tension between Democratic officials and the incoming administration over immigration policy. From mayors pledging to go to jail rather than comply with deportations to lawmakers promising to resist the enforcement of federal immigration laws, the divide is becoming increasingly pronounced.
Homan, undeterred by the opposition, emphasized that the administration’s primary focus will be on removing public safety threats, including notorious gangs like Tren de Aragua. He highlighted the importance of prioritizing the safety and security of communities, emphasizing that no one should stand in the way of removing criminal elements, regardless of their immigration status.
As the debate over immigration enforcement intensifies, Homan remains steadfast in his commitment to carrying out the administration’s agenda. With a clear message to those who oppose him – “game on” – it is evident that he is prepared to face any challenges head-on in order to uphold the rule of law.
