Border czar Tom Homan vowed Monday to keep up immigration enforcement in New York City and other sanctuary cities, despite the Trump administration preparing legal action against places like Los Angeles that resist cooperation.
Homan said, “We’re going to double down and triple down on sanctuary cities… because we know that’s where the problem is.” He claimed these cities release public safety and national security threats daily, contrasting with Florida, where sheriffs fully cooperate with federal authorities.
Homan emphasized, “We’ll flood the zone with sanctuary cities. If they don’t let us arrest a bad guy in the county jail, we’ll arrest them in the community, at work sites.”
He concluded with a warning: “If they don’t want to help, get out of the way, we’re coming to do it.”
This firm stance underscores ongoing federal efforts to crack down on sanctuary policies amid rising tensions between local governments and federal immigration enforcement.
