Border czar Tom Homan on Monday pledged to press forward with operations in New York City and other sanctuary cities, even as the Trump administration moves to take legal action against Los Angeles and other jurisdictions refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
“We’re going to be in New York City and President Trump said it two weeks ago,” Homan told reporters. “We’re going to double down and triple down on sanctuary cities. Why? Not because they’re a blue city or a blue state… because we know that’s where the problem is.”
“It’s only a matter of time before ICE officers are going to be ambushed by some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing a Molotov cocktail, throwing bricks at these officers,” Homan said. “This is just disgusting at every level, so I hope DOJ dives in this deeply, because ICE is concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats.”
