Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan has reacted swiftly to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) admitting that he and NJ’s first lady Tammy were harboring an illegal alien. In a rather “foolish” show of defiance, the governor of the Garden State also suggested that the undocumented individual was beyond the reach of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Gov. Murphy made the damning confession while talking to a Leftwing organization Blue Wave New Jersey.
“Tammy and I were talking about – I don’t want to get into too much detail – but there is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to,” Murphy confessed.
“And we said, ‘You know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage’ and good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”
Homan had warned Americans, including politicians like the Chicago Mayor, against harboring illegal aliens, which is a federal crime under Title 8 of the United States Code 1324 III. He also told the “not very smart” Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to “get the hell out of the way” after she vowed not to cooperate with Trump’s deportations.
However, Gov. Murphy has upped the stakes by being the most-ranking politician to confess to harboring an illegal alien despite Homan’s repeated warnings.
“I think the governor is pretty foolish,” Homan said.
“I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it,” he continued.
“And if he’s knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII of the United States Code 1324.”
“I would seek prosecution, or the secretary will seek prosecution,” Homan warned. “Maybe he’s bluffing. If not, we’ll deal with that.”
Homan also disclosed that the Trump administration would sue sanctuary cities for harboring illegal aliens, who he said are responsible for killing thousands of children.
Homan also noted that the illegal immigrant killer of Laken Riley was comfortably living in the New York City sanctuary beyond the reach of the feds despite facing child endangerment charges. José Antonio Ibarra also had an active arrest warrant after skipping court hearings related to an alleged Walmart theft in Athens, Georgia.
Gov. Murphy should learn from Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, who quickly retracted his statement that he was willing to go to jail for fighting Trump’s deportations.
“Me and the Denver mayor agree on one thing,” Homan said. “He’s willing to go to jail. I’m willing to put him in jail.”
If Gov. Murphy is bluffing, he might earn street cred for being the tough guy who challenged Homan without risking his freedom, which is likely what he is doing. However, the thought of incarcerating a senior Democrat over illegal immigration would be very satisfying to most Americans who love their country.
Meanwhile, Gov. Murphy’s confession came at a critical moment when Homan said he would step up deportations and target other categories of illegal aliens besides national security threats. Appearing on ABC News, he warned that anybody in the country illegally was not exempt from deportation.
“If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”
