Incoming "border czar" Tom Homan said large-scale raids as part of President-elect Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration are set to begin as soon as Tuesday.
In an interview with Fox News on Friday night, Homan did not offer further details, but he did confirm that Chicago will be one of the cities targeted.
"On Tuesday, ICE is finally going to go out and do their job. We're going to take the handcuffs off ICE," he said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).we’ll withdraw our endorsement of it.
In a Sunday interview on Fox News, Homan revealed that he was troubled by leaked details of the proposed deportations in Chicago.
"I find it troubling to this day that any sanctuary city, any elected official, does not want public safety threats removed from their communities," Homan said. "Let us into the jail. Cause if you let us in the jail, we can arrest a bad guy in the jail, right?"
"Washington Post says you, as of yesterday, talking about reconsidering a raid in Chicago this coming week," host Bill Hemmer asked. "There was a leak in Chicago," Homan admitted. "So we're looking at that leak and find out how does it affect officer safety concerns. Chicago's not off the table, but we're reconsidering when and how we do it."
"So would it benefit you, based on your objective there, not to talk publicly so much about your plans?" Hemmer pressed.
"Specific plans," Homan clarified. "What was leaked in Chicago was more specific what was happening, and that raises officer safety concerns."
"So we're looking at it. What was leaked? What's actually in there? And how is it going to affect us moving forward?"So now we’re clear on why Trump chose Chicago (aside from its Democratic Party roots). He wanted to make an example of a sanctuary city.
Sanctuary cities don’t obstruct federal law enforcement. They simply don’t endanger their own efforts by making themselves agents of ICE. They have their own law enforcement issues, and being seen as extensions of ICE just make that job harder.
And now Homan is crawfishing; probably because they can’t do what they promised to do. He can’t even punish Chicago (he never could have).
Wimp. 😈
