Several officials in the United States, including mayors and governors, have vowed not to cooperate with President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to mass deport millions of illegal aliens.
Tom Homan, who Trump has selected for border czar, said a jail cell may be awaiting those officials.
Homan told Just the News in an interview that he will seek authority from the Department of Justice to charge officials with obstruction and harboring if they don’t turn over illegal border crossers in their custody.
“They need to be aware of a couple things. No. 1, impeding a federal law enforcement officer is a crime. No. 2, if you knowingly harbor or conceal an illegal alien from ICE, that’s a crime,” Homan said. “So don’t cross that line!”
Last week, Los Angeles passed an ordinance affirming it is a sanctuary city, matching the state law that California first passed in 2017.
Homan told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Friday night that sanctuary city laws can be superseded by federal immigration law. “Federal law trumps state and local law every time,” he said.
“If we know someone’s in a county jail and we know they’re there. How do we know it? When they run the fingerprints from NCIC, they bounce against the DHS database, we know, OK, we just got prints off this alien in this jail because his fingerprints just came back. And that’s where he’s at right now. So if we know he’s there, they don’t give us access to him. Is that not harboring?”

Homan also pointed to reports from Congress that the Biden-Harris administration has lost track of at least 30,000 unaccompanied migrant children.
“Look, people are dead because of the policies of this administration,” he said. “And many of these children we’ll never find and many are going to be in sex trafficking. Many are going to be in forced labor. So that’s one of the things President Trump’s committed to, is trying to find these kids. It’s going to be hard, but we need to find them and save them.”
Homan said is also holding out hope that Mexico’s new socialist president, Claudia Sheinbaum, will reverse her country’s 2023 declaration to oppose an effort to reconstitute the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy that forced asylum seekers to stay on the southern side of the U.S. border until approved for entry.
“So we’re hoping Mexico steps up, because we’re going to save a lot of lives by securing that border,” he said. “I hope she understands that, and if she doesn’t, then, you know President Trump’s one bad-ass president.”
