Incoming border czar Tom Homan warned liberal governors to “get the Hell out of the way” amid a new alliance to prevent raids on illegal immigrants.
Blue state leaders have created the “Governors Safeguarding Democracy” (GSD) alliance in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. The new coalition gained attention when Gov. of Illinois J.B. Pritzker said the prospect of red state National Guard troops carrying out deportation raids in Democrat areas was “just not something we’re going accept.”
Homan responded to the ongoing discontent among Democrat Governors in an interview with Fox News. The former police officer said, “We’re at a situation now where the cops – the ones who want to enforce the law – are the bad guys, but the ones who break the law? They’re the victims.”
Pledging to enforce deportation plans against illegal immigrants in the wake of Trump’s victory, Homan added, “If the Mayors and the Governors want to step in the way? Look, you can either help, or get the Hell out of the way, because we’re going to do this job.”
Adding that the American people had given Trump a mandate, Homan said he “couldn’t believe” left-leaning politicians did not want public safety and national security threats taken out of their jurisdictions.
