Tom Homan Drops the Mic on Sanctuary City Leaders with Ominous Warning [WATCH]

The Trump administration may soon take legal action against officials in sanctuary cities who are accused of harboring illegal aliens, according to statements made this week by Border Czar Tom Homan.

During a press availability, Homan was asked about the administration’s recent executive order threatening to cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities. A reporter pressed further, asking why the administration doesn’t move directly to arrest city officials defying immigration law.

“Wait ‘til you see what’s coming,” Homan responded, smiling.

Homan’s comments come amid renewed efforts by the Trump administration to crack down on jurisdictions that defy federal immigration enforcement.

Earlier in the week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting sanctuary cities, warning that those who shield illegal aliens from deportation may lose access to federal funds.

At a press conference, Homan reiterated that any public official—including elected leaders or judges—who knowingly harbors or conceals illegal aliens will be prosecuted.

“I’ve said from day one, you don’t have to support ICE’s operations. You can support sanctuary cities if that’s what you desire to do,” Homan said.

“But when you cross that line to impediment or knowingly harboring or concealing an illegal alien migrant, you will be prosecuted — judge or not.”

Homan emphasized that local officials have a responsibility to protect the safety of their communities and cooperate with efforts to remove individuals who pose national security or public safety threats.

“Any public official — your mayor, city councilman, or governor — their number one responsibility is protection of the communities,” Homan stated.

“ICE is targeting public safety threats and national security threats. I can’t believe there’s any elected official — and especially a judge — that doesn’t believe we should be doing that, and they should be helping us.”

His warning aligns with past statements he has made about holding sanctuary city officials accountable.

In prior public remarks, Homan pledged to personally travel to sanctuary jurisdictions and bring enforcement actions.

I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts. ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to…

That approach has already materialized in several areas, including Boston, where ICE conducted 380 arrests in March alone under Homan’s direction.

Homan has long criticized sanctuary cities for placing the rights of illegal aliens above the safety of U.S. citizens, and he has continued to argue that local resistance to ICE only serves to put communities at risk.

The administration has not yet announced specific legal steps against individual officials, but Homan’s comments suggest that prosecutions may be forthcoming.

Officials in several sanctuary cities across the U.S. have passed laws or issued directives instructing local law enforcement not to cooperate with ICE detainer requests or provide federal agents with access to jail records.

The Trump administration’s broader immigration enforcement strategy has emphasized strict adherence to federal immigration law and a renewed focus on prosecuting individuals who obstruct enforcement efforts.

The Department of Justice is reportedly coordinating with ICE and other federal agencies to determine the scope of liability for public officials who actively block enforcement or offer protection to individuals with active removal orders.

Further announcements from the administration on enforcement actions and funding restrictions are expected in the coming weeks.
