Homan takes aim at sanctuary city official, warns illegal immigrants

Border czar Tom Homan is not backing down in the face of criticism from local politicians in a major “sanctuary city,” warning illegal immigrants to be on alert in the coming days and weeks. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Homan responded to comments made by Boston City Councilor Sharon Durkan, who had criticized his remarks at CPAC and questioned his ability to understand the complexities of policing a major city.

Homan fired back, stating that Durkan should prioritize the safety of U.S. citizen taxpayers over illegal aliens who commit heinous crimes. He emphasized that his focus is on enforcing the law and removing dangerous individuals from communities. Homan also took aim at Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, accusing him of prioritizing politics over public safety.

Durkan responded to Homan’s remarks by mocking his law enforcement background in a small town, suggesting that he lacks the experience to understand the challenges of policing a large city. However, Homan defended his record, highlighting ICE’s recent arrests of nine illegal aliens, including sexual predators, in Massachusetts. He emphasized the importance of removing such individuals from the streets to protect communities.

ICE’s enforcement efforts have intensified under the Trump administration, with a focus on public safety threats. Homan reiterated that no one in the U.S. illegally is off the table for enforcement actions. He urged critics of ICE to consider the impact of illegal immigrant crime on victims and their families.

Homan also addressed Durkan’s criticism of his background, stating that his small-town roots have shaped his commitment to serving communities. He emphasized that ICE enforces a wide range of laws beyond immigration, including drug smuggling and firearms trafficking.

Overall, Homan urged Durkan and other critics to recognize the importance of ICE’s work in maintaining public safety. He emphasized the agency’s role in protecting communities and upholding the rule of law. Homan’s dedication to law enforcement and commitment to keeping communities safe remain unwavering in the face of political attacks.
