Tom Homan, a former acting ICE director and now President Trump’s border czar, has announced a major escalation in federal immigration enforcement targeting sanctuary cities following the weekend shooting of an off-duty Border Patrol agent in New York City.
Tom Homan, President Trump’s top immigration advisor and border czar, said Sunday the U.S.-Mexico border is now the “most secure in the history of this nation.” Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Homan credited strict enforcement of immigration law and the administration’s refusal to tolerate sanctuary policies that obstruct federal efforts.
The Trump administration is ramping up its crackdown on sanctuary cities, with a direct promise from Border Czar Tom Homan to triple enforcement efforts and bring federal immigration law directly to areas defying cooperation. Following the Democrat primary win of socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, Homan confirmed aggressive plans to confront cities that refuse to comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE director Tom Homan sharply criticized CNN for highlighting ICEBlock, an app designed to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in real time.
White House border czar Tom Homan stated Monday that Joe Biden is the first president in U.S. history to intentionally leave the southern border unsecured.
