Trump’s Border Captain, Tom Homan, Vows to Prosecute Mayors Impeding Mass Deportations

Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, Vows to Prosecute Mayors Impeding Mass Deportations

In a bold move that signals a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, Tom Homan, the incoming border czar under President-elect Donald Trump, has declared his intention to prosecute mayors who obstruct the federal government’s plans for mass deportations.

This statement was made during a series of engagements with conservative media and at a holiday party hosted by the Law and Order PAC in Illinois, where Homan emphasized the legal consequences for local officials who do not comply with federal immigration enforcement.

Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump’s previous administration, has been outspoken about his strategy. He stressed that while local officials are not required to assist in deportation efforts, they must not actively impede these actions.

Homan’s comments come in the wake of several Democratic mayors, including Denver’s Mike Johnston and Chicago’s Brandon Johnson, declaring they would resist federal deportation efforts, potentially leading to legal confrontations.

Below is Tom Homan speaking about NYC Democrat Mayor Eric Adams saying how he actually cares about his people and want to deport illegals.

Key points from Homan’s remarks include:

• Legal Enforcement: Homan cited Title 8 of the United States Code, specifically Section 1324, which makes it a felony to knowingly harbor or conceal illegal aliens from immigration authorities. He warned that any mayor or governor who interferes would face prosecution.
• Public Safety Focus: He reiterated that the priority would be to remove public safety threats and national security risks first, although this would eventually extend to all undocumented immigrants.
• Proactive Engagement: Despite his stern warnings, Homan has also engaged with local leaders, such as New York City Mayor Eric Adams, indicating a willingness to work collaboratively where possible.

This hardline approach signals a return to stringent immigration enforcement, echoing Trump’s campaign promises of large-scale deportations. Critics argue that such policies could strain community relations, disrupt families, and lead to civil unrest, while supporters see it as a necessary measure to control illegal immigration and enhance national security.
