Yesterday afternoon, we told you about New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who openly bragged about defying immigration laws by harboring a migrant at his house. He dared the Trump administration to do something about it. Enter Tom Homan, who vowed to investigate Murphy for these claims. As he should. Well, guess what? Murphy is walking back those comments now.

New Jersey Democrat Governor talked about allowing a migrant female to live above his garage, which is like harboring a criminal if she's an illegal immigrant. Tom Homan plans to go after Gov. Murphy - who said 'good luck' to the feds who try getting to the migrant who lives about Phil Murphy's garage. The previous post we did on this was a video of Phil Murphy talking about the situation with the migrant living above his garage.

“We said, you know what, let’s have her live at our house above our garage, and good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”

As RedState reported earlier, actress/singer Selena Gomez posted a video to her Instagram page Monday in which she was sobbing to the point of being hard to understand and in which she was seemingly addressing new illegal immigration policies under the Trump administration related to the repatriations of criminal elements.“I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don’t understand,” she said in between sobs, as the words "I'm sorry" appeared in the foreground along with an image of the Mexican flag. "I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something,...

In 2016, Thomas D. Homan was a frustrated immigration bureaucrat ready to call it quits. A former border patrol agent with a lawman’s steely demeanor, he had been an odd fit for the Obama administration. Top officials would call on him when they wanted a hard-liner’s take. But his proposals — including an early version of the controversial family separation policy to deter migrants — were often rejected. In the years since, Donald J. Trump’s rise has fully unleashed Mr. Homan and his ideas. In Mr. Trump’s first administration, Mr. Homan helped make the family separation policy a chaotic reality....

Imagine local sheriffs who actually comply with federal immigration law. What a concept. Perhaps The New Yorker magazine is more comfortable with local police officials who defy such laws because their jurisdiction is in sanctuary cities. However, when faced with the reality that many sheriffs around the nation are more than willing to comply with federal law in order to protect their citizens, the New Yorker finds this problematic as you can see in their Thursday story by Jessica Pishko, "How Sheriffs Might Power Trump’s Deportation Machine."Pishko finds it highly problematic that local sheriffs are willing to cooperate with the...

Donald Trump's incoming border czar Tom Homan signaled Sunday that he is close to finding a nation that will take deported migrants whose home country will not accept them. The scheme is a key part of Trump's plan for what he calls the 'largest deportation in history.... Homan told DailyMail.com that he is already in negotiations to find an alternative destination in countries that are prepared to house them.... He said Trump had given him three priorities: Securing the border; launching a deportation drive; and hunting down what he said were 300,000 undocumented children who had gone missing ...

'We pretty much know where the bodies are buried,' Homan told The Daily Wire, 'We know who's who.' President-elect Donald Trump’s “Border Czar” is going to be on the lookout for federal employees who may work to undermine his efforts to shore up the southern border. Tom Homan laid out his plan to detect potential landmines that President Joe Biden’s administration could be setting during an interview with The Daily Wire’s Cabot Phillips and Mary Margaret Olohan at Turning Point USA’s America Fest in Phoenix, Arizona. “They’re working very closely with the NGOs and other groups to try to increase...

TORONTO, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Four Canadian ministers publicly unveiled on Tuesday a border security plan they had privately presented to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration, with an emphasis on surveillance, intelligence and technology. Canadian ministers had an "encouraging" meeting with Trump's border czar Tom Homan, Public Safety, Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters.... LeBlanc and his colleagues announced Tuesday a plan to beef up the U.S.-Canada border with helicopters, drones, surveillance towers and sniffer dogs, as well as a "joint strike force" ...

The Democratic governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, says he agrees with one part of border czar appointee Tom Homan's historic mass deportation campaign under the incoming Trump administration. Pritzker was responding to comments made by Homan at the Northwest Side GOP gathering that happened Monday evening, according to FOX 32 Chicago, where he threatened to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. The move would impact tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants in Chicago and Illinois. "Violent criminals who are undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported," Pritzker said at an unrelated news conference, the local station reported. "I do...

President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar pick, Tom Homan, outlined his deportation plans in Chicago, emphasizing strict enforcement and criticizing Illinois leaders.

A three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the federal government has the authority to deport illegal immigrants even if local leaders try to impede the process. The case arose after King County Executive Dow Constantine issued an executive order in 2019 that instructed county officials to prohibit “fixed base operators” (FBO) on a county airfield from servicing flights chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport illegal immigrants who are lawfully removable. FBO’s “lease space from the airport and provide flights with essential services, such as fueling and landing stairs,” according to the ruling.The...

The Ninth Circuit has long been the left-most federal appellate court in the United States. However, the day after Thanksgiving, the Ninth Circuit issued a decision that must have made President-elect Donald Trump very happy: It concluded that the Supremacy Clause means what it says, namely, that when it comes to the border, local political bodies cannot use regulations governing private parties to override the federal government’s supremacy on immigration matters. United States v. King County revolved around Boeing Field, an airport in King County, Washington (i.e., the Seattle area). In 1941, King County conveyed the field to the U.S....

The federal government has the authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally over the objection of local authorities, a panel of three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled. The 29-page ruling was written by Judge Daniel Bress, with judges Michael Hawkins and Richard Clinton concurring. At issue is an April 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine, which directed county officials to prohibit fixed base operators on a county airfield near Seattle from servicing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement charter flights used to deport illegal foreign nationals. Constantine’s order prohibited King...

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director and incoming Trump Border Czar Tom Homan has been in a verbal war with sanctuary city mayors for weeks, warning them to get out of the way when federal authorites come to their towns looking for criminal illegal aliens. During an interview with Fox News Tuesday night, Homan upped the ante and warned local authorities that harboring illegal aliens is a felony. "There will be consequences," Homan said. HOMAN: “You can sit there & watch! Get out of the way. We’re doing it…It is a felony to knowingly harbor & conceal an illegal alien...

CNN host Kasie Hunt was left visibly shocked after listening to incoming border czar Tom Homan say he would put Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail if he didn't cooperate with Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. In an appearance last Monday with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Homan said: 'Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.' Hunt played this soundbite on her show Wednesday and had a visceral reaction before insisting that Homan's rhetoric was 'more extreme' than what had been said by the Trump...

Denver's far-left mayor has walked back his threat to use his city's police department to stop federal immigration law enforcement. As RedState previously reported, Mayor Mike Johnston told a local news outlet that there would be a "Tiananmen Square" moment if the incoming Trump administration moved into the city to deport illegal immigrants. He even went so far as to say he'd use Denver PD to set up checkpoints at "the county line," something I'm sure not too many officers were keen on being a part of. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them...

President-elect Trump’s new border czar is giving more clarity on exactly how the military will be used to aid in the mass deportations of illegal immigrants that the incoming administration has promised. Tom Homan, who served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump’s first term, debunked frenzied speculation from some liberals that the military could be deployed to arrest people on US streets — saying that service members would be used for “non-enforcement” duties. “They certainly can handle transportation, whether that’s ground transportation or air transportation… and certainly help building infrastructure,” he told The Post....

President Donald Trump’s incoming “border czar” isn’t just going to address “root causes” like former Vice President Kamala Harris did in the role — and that, apparently, is making a lot of people angry. So angry, in fact, that Homan says he’s had to move his family due to death threats. ... the role doesn’t require Senate confirmation. “The advantage he’s gonna have is, there’s no question that Tom Homan will bring the implied authority of the president,” said Ron Vitiello, Homan’s successor as acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director. “No one’s gonna wonder.” ... the role has come a...

When Donald Trump is inaugurated as America's 47th president on January 20, the event will mark the official start of his second term in office with carefully stage-managed images that will be seen around the world. Within hours of the event, Trump will take his seat behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office and launch what he calls 'the biggest mass deportation in American history'. While the expulsion of illegal immigrants was a focal point of Trump's election campaign, the precise details of how he intends to accomplish his goal of removing as many as 20 million people from...
