President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, career immigration enforcer Tom Homan, has made a bombshell promise in a massive blue city.
Earlier this month, Homan was on hand in Chicago, a city whose mayor has vowed to fight the Trump administration on its immigration plans, where he said deportation operations would begin on “day one.”
“All that starts January 21st, and we’re going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois. If your Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside. But if he impedes us — if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien — I will prosecute him,” Homan declared while sending a stern warning to Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson.
He also took a swipe at the state’s Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker in his speech.
“Chicago is in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks. January 21st, you’re going to look for a lot of ICE agents in your city, looking for criminals and gang members,” Homan said, indicating that the deportations would start the day after the inauguration of the president-elect.
