Dem NYC Councilman: ‘I Love Tom Homan’, Want to See Charges for Sanctuary Officials and Deportation of Criminals
Breitbart ^ | 11/25/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 11/25/2024 5:08:55 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” New York City Councilman Robert Holden (D) stated that he loves that incoming Border Czar Tom Homan vowed to hold sanctuary jurisdictions accountable for “shielding criminals and terrorists” because “We need to actually get rid of and deport these illegal aliens who are committing crime.”

Holden said, “I love Tom Homan, the new Border Czar, who came, last week on Fox and said, we’re going to hold these mayors and governors accountable, certainly, he said don’t cross that line. Because they are violating, with these sanctuary city laws, by shielding — they are violating, it’s a felony to shield these criminals, these illegal immigrants. So, we need to start really doing that. We need to actually get rid of and deport these illegal aliens who are committing crime.”

Crowd: “That new Sheriff, he’s....”

(traffic noise, truck backfire, police sirens)

“What?” “What?”

“That new Sheriff, he’s.....a Trumper.”

How nice of him to jump on the MAGA bandwagon just weeks before he was scheduled to be run over by it.

Well, better late than never.

His district is the 30th City Council District which represents a predominantly white area of Queens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City%27s_30th_City_Council_district

Excerpt:

District 30 is based in the predominantly white neighborhoods of central Queens, including Maspeth, Glendale, Middle Village, and parts of Woodhaven, Ridgewood, and Woodside.[4] Forest Park is located within the district, as are a number of the city’s cemeteries.

The district overlaps with Queens Community Boards 2, 5, 6, and 9, and with New York’s 6th, 7th, 12th, and 14th congressional districts. It also overlaps with the 12th, 15th, and 16th districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 28th, 30th, 34th, 37th, 38th, and 39th districts of the New York State Assembly.[5]

Wrong. I see links that show Councilman Holden saying the same thing back in June.

“We need to actually get rid of and deport these illegal aliens who are committing crime.”
**************************************************

All illegals are committing crimes by being here. They all have to go. The law and ethics say so.

It might be me but it sounds like the message is changing already. I kind of hear more about deporting the illegals who are here and committing crimes.

Is it get rid of illegals who are committing crimes or is it get rid of the illegals who have already committed a crime by crossing into the USA illegally.

I’d venture to guess that he’d have made national headlines if he’d shown up in the Bronx Trump rally with a sign to the same effect.

Like with Dan Rather, I question the timing. YMMV.

I pointed out that a quick search showed that Holden was against the invasion, at the very least, back in June. That's six months before the election.

You could question the timing all you want, but you would be demonstrably wrong.

It’s great that as of June of this year, this Councilman is where he is on this issue.

It’s great that the NYC mayor is now where he is on this issue.

However, it would seem they didn’t shift because of the Rule of Law or an internal moral compass, but in response to a massive Citizenry sea change this year.

Can we agree on that?

Holden is an old time Dem. An Ed Koch type. He represents areas of Western Queens like Middle Village. Old time Italian neighborhood, though the homes are a bit more modern. The parents of these folks and grandparents are from Bushwick and Ridgewood. I taight them 50 years ago. Holden has stood up against the illegals and their defenders.

Nope. Holden hasn't really changed his tune this year. He's been the same all along. For example Holden testified before the House Judiciary Committee in 2023. At the hearing he talked about Migrant crime and he said that Alan Bragg should be removed.

Holden is basically a Republican. He runs in all 3 lines in NY, Republican, Conservative and Democratic.
