Tom Homan, the guy President-elect Donald Trump picked as his new "border czar," is hitting the ground running with public warnings that sanctuary cities face possible prosecution once Trump is installed if they do not cooperate. "They need to be aware of a couple things," Homan told the independent media in an interview. "No. 1: impeding a federal law enforcement officer is a crime. No. 2: if you knowingly harbor or conceal an illegal alien from ICE, that's a crime. So don't cross that line!" On day one, Homan, in accordance with Trump's wishes, will pursue Department of Justice (DOJ) charges against any government officials who obstruct justice, i.e., by harboring illegals in violation of Trump's mass deportation effort. Those caught breaking the law will pay if Homan has anything to say about it. (Related: In order to carry out his plan for mass deportations on day one of his second term, Trump says a national emergency is coming that will bring in the U.S. military to help round up the migrants.)

Sanctuary cities like Los Angeles already resisting Trump

The former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homan was chosen by Trump earlier this month to coordinate all of the president-elect's border security plans starting on Jan. 20, 2025. Homan has already begun crafting a detailed plan for how everything will work in less than two months. The plan already is to deport more than 14 million illegal aliens who sneaked into the country during Joe Biden's presidency, starting with those who are accused or convicted of crimes. Some "blue" cities and states, including Los Angeles, are resisting. The "City of Angels" in California recently passed an ordinance affirming its sanctuary city status. As of 2017, California as an entire state is a sanctuary state, meaning illegal aliens can live there without fear of deportation simply for being illegal. "Federal law trumps state and local law every time," Homan said, signaling that Trump's federal efforts will have to be followed by all states and cities, regardless of whether or not they are "red" or "blue" politically speaking. "If we know someone's in a county jail and we know they're there, how do we know it?" Homan asked. "When they run the fingerprints from NCIC, they bounce against the DHS database – we know, OK, we just got prints off this alien in this jail because his fingerprints just came back. And that's where he's at right now." "So, if we know he's there, they don't give us access to him. Is that not harboring?" Homan is planning to ask Trump's attorney general – current Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is one possible nominee – to provide a formal opinion on whether or not a county or city jail's refusal to turn over illegal aliens to ICE constitutes a federal crime. "I'll leave it up to the attorney general, but I think it needs to be fully reviewed," Homan commented about the matter. "And I hope they agree with me." Homan believes that Trump and the new GOP-led Congress – both the House and the Senate are now dominated by Republicans – can work together to create disincentives for harboring illegal aliens, i.e., by banning federal taxpayer funding to state and local jurisdictions that provide refuge or sanctuary to illegal migrants. "We've got to pull federal funding," Homas contends. "We've got to take the money away." "And look, I'm hoping to come to the game ready because President Trump and myself, we've been clear that public safety threats and national security threats would be the priorities right out of the gate. Public safety threats, national security threats, we got plenty in the fight. So, you know, what mayor or governor doesn't want public safety threats out of their communities."
