President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan vows to instill harsh consequences on sanctuary city leaders who are threatening to block immigration authorities from carrying out their planned mass deportation — telling them plain and simple: “Don’t test us.”
“Let me be clear, there is going to be a mass deportation because we just finished a mass illegal immigration crisis on the border,” Homan said during a visit to the border Tuesday in Eagle Pass, Texas, alongside Gov. Greg Abbott.
“If we don’t do it, what is the option? Let them stay? Cause if you let them stay, you’ll never fix the border. You’re gonna send a message to the rest of the world: enter the country illegally, which is a crime, ignore a court order … we’re telling the whole world it’s OK to enter this country illegally, you’ve never got to go home,” he added.
To leaders threatening to get in the way of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homan warned, “Don’t cross that line.”
“It is a felony to knowingly harbor or conceal an illegal immigrant from immigration authorities. Don’t test us.”
