Tom Homan Calls Out the Sanctuary City Excuse Democrats Keep Hiding Behind [WATCH]

Border Czar Tom Homan called on Congress to outlaw sanctuary cities and sanctuary states, arguing that public safety is strengthened when dangerous individuals are arrested and held in custody rather than released back into communities.

Homan said cooperation between local jurisdictions and federal immigration authorities should not be a partisan issue, particularly when it involves individuals identified as public safety threats.

“There shouldn’t be a partisan issue that you arrest public safety threats in the safety and security of a jail, releasing public safety threats back in the public is just stupid,” Homan said.

“And I’ve been arguing this for years, and I hope Congress takes action on sanctuary cities and Sanctuary states.”

He said the issue comes down to basic logic.

“It makes sense, if you think about it, even though the argument I hear, well, victims and witnesses of crime that are in the country illegally want to feel safe, to come to law enforcement and to report those crimes without fearing that this law enforcement agency is working with ICE. That’s just a bunch of crap, because victims and witnesses of crime don’t want the bad guy released into the neighborhood either. It’s ridiculous.”

Homan dismissed concerns that cooperation with ICE discourages crime reporting.

He argued that victims and witnesses are more concerned about dangerous individuals being returned to their neighborhoods than about coordination between local authorities and federal immigration officials.

“We want access to the person that you chose the local jurisdiction chose to lock in a jail cell, and we have that cooperation here now it’s the right thing to do is makes this it makes this community safer,” he said.

Homan cited recent enforcement efforts as evidence of the impact of coordinated law enforcement action.

“This community is safer because we arrested 4000 illegal aliens in this over 4000 illegal aliens here, many of them public safety threat, not all of them. As I said, we’re going to force immigration law. But this community is much safer because of President Trump’s leadership and the men and women standing on the stage.”

WATCH:

Homan’s remarks focused on the role of federal and local cooperation in immigration enforcement and urged lawmakers to take legislative action targeting sanctuary policies.

He credited President Trump’s leadership and law enforcement personnel for what he described as improved community safety following thousands of arrests, including individuals identified as public safety threats.
