In a bold move to keep America safe from those who would rather hide behind sanctuary laws than protect their citizens, Tom Homan, the incoming border czar, has sent a warning shot across the bow of liberal strongholds. Homan, known for his practical approach to immigration enforcement, has pointed out that resisting Donald Trump’s deportation policies will ultimately backfire, resulting in the very chaos local leaders are claiming to prevent. Rather than creating safety, these policies put citizens at increased risk, proving once again that politics can be a dangerous game for public safety.
Making an appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Homan explained that liberal cities and states, like San Diego and Colorado, are making headlines for their resistance to Trump’s repatriation initiatives. However, these so-called sanctuary jurisdictions should reconsider their defiance. Homan made it clear that when ICE isn’t allowed to operate within jails, it creates a situation where dangerous individuals are released back into communities, potentially putting anyone with a pulse at risk. It’s like letting a lion out into a petting zoo—no one wants to see the aftermath of that!
The incoming czar further elaborated on the irony of sanctuary policies. If local governments want to limit ICE’s presence in their jurisdictions, letting the agency conduct its work within local jails would actually save everyone time and trouble. Instead of having his officers conducting widespread searches in communities to track down released offenders, he posited, why not just address the issue where it starts? It’s a common-sense strategy that seems to elude the liberal policymakers wrapped up in their virtue signaling.
Despite clear reasoning, a number of local politicians have taken the bait and are actively pushing back against ICE. Mayors and governors from deep blue states have thrown their lot in with illegal immigrants, announcing plans to aid and shield those who violate laws. The Mayor of Denver, Mike Johnston, seems particularly keen on using the local police as his own personal bouncers to protect lawbreakers, showcasing the absurd lengths to which some are willing to go to prioritize allegiance to illegal aliens over the safety of law-abiding citizens.

Of course, Denver is not alone in this ridiculous dance with danger. The Los Angeles City Council has voted unanimously to uphold its sanctuary status, sending a clear message that they are more interested in obstructing federal immigration efforts than in ensuring the safety of their own constituents. With similarly blatant displays of disregard for lawful immigration, governors from states like Illinois, Massachusetts, and, of course, California are happily strutting their anti-ICE sentiments. This tactical folly makes one wonder—how can these officials protect their communities if they refuse to acknowledge the very real threats posed by illegal immigration?
In a climate where public officials prioritize feelings over facts, Homan’s warnings should be taken seriously. If sanctuary cities continue to do their utmost to shield criminal elements instead of cooperating with ICE, they may soon find themselves facing the very consequences they sought to avoid. It’s a classic case of liberal overreach, and for the safety of all, it’s high time these jurisdictions align their policies with the security needs of their communities.
